- [Voiceover] If you are a premium member of Lynda.com, then you have access to the exercise files that I'll be using throughout this title. Once you have downloaded the exercise files folder to your computer, you'll see that I have organized all the images that we'll be working on in this course into different folders based on the different chapters. If you don't have access to the exercise files, you can certainly follow along using your own images.
