If the name Jos Weyers appears in a write up about about impressioning, especially if the write up is by someone who spent some time working with Jos then you can be sure the write will be top notch. Which it so happens to be. Very short but great tutorial hitting all of the basic and must know points.

I'd say it's a good start. I've seen the guy who wrote this on a different forum. He knows his stuff.

I did a couple of vids as an intro to impressioning. I guess they could be useful as you start up:

:agree: Seems well thought out & covers the basics well.
I also found the section on magnification interesting.

And yeah, I'd take a look at the vids form MrAnybody.
If a picture's worth 1,000 words.... a video is worth 10,000.
