Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Average quality writing and examples
This is voluminous, but quantity does not make up for quality. Some chapters are sketchy, so I found much better tutorials on the net, and in other books.

Shouldn't have to be this way. I'm glad I'm used to working with Photoshop, to do ok with the book.

IF I was getting one or two books on Photoshop, this would not be one of them.

These authors do not write clearly enough for beginners, and intermediate level PS users may be better served by buying higher ranked PS books, keyed to whether you are more into photography, or graphics.

- book review
A book for people already familiar with photoshop, too complex for beginers, written in a dull way.

Rating:

- Very Helpful
This is an excellent book, which actually explains a lot about Photoshop for the newer user. It was recommended to me be by a professional and I am happy that I got it. Its only drawback is that none of the graphic charts are in color. Not terrible but it would certainly be helpful.

Rating:

- Another winner in the Visual Quickstart series
I had photoshop 5 and the corresponding Visual Quickstart guide. When I upgraded to CS2, I bought this book based on my satisfaction with the previous version. I was not disappointed.

The concept of these books is to provide a 1-3 page illustrated lesson on real world tasks. With photoshop, that works particularly well. I am an occasional user, and this book helps me get great results fast.
