How useful was the amphibous experience in the Pacific when it came to Operations Torch and Overlord?

Did the American experience in amphibious attacks in the island campaign affect how they conducted the initial landings in North Africa and France?

Torch took place before the Americans had partook in any major amphibious landings in the Pacific. Overlord however, used a lot of tactics from the Pacific as well as the landings at Sicily and Solerno.
