Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - The essential desktop book for CS2
After 20 years dealing with computers, the first book I've actually used more than once. Using a book instead of a help file for me is unheard of, but this gem by Scott Kelby has already begun to see signs of use. From the first technique to the last, only what's useful, no filler, no crap. Step by step tutorials SHOWING you how to do the most commmon and some obscure things that every CS2'er should know. Great pictures, great language and it literally has something for everyone. If you like getting right to the point regarding "how to" then this book is for you.

Rating: - Good formulaic information
A lot of info here, but in the end largely formulaic. Still it is very readable and there are a few pearls.

Rating: - Scott is one of the Masters
This is not a book that explains everything about Photoshop CS2. This book explains to Digital Photographers what CS2 can do for you. I highly recommend this to all ability levels.
