This book was a great help as I was learning the digital editing process and getting my workflow together. I would recommend this book to anyone new to the field or already in it and wants to learn some new editing methods. The author's humor is hilarious. It actually helped me to get through the chapters.

This book is both a resource for using Photoshop and also a very good textbook for learning the considerable ins ond outs of the product. It is written in practical language that most people will not have a problem understanding.

Rating: - Perfect book to get you started
Photoshop is a totally overwhelming program when you first start out using it. There are so many things you know it can do, but you just don't know where to start. This book is a great help for that!! It walks you through each step (nice and slow and with lots of fun humor) with great photos of what your screen should look like (it's done with a Mac, but looks almost identical to the PC version). And for most of the projects there is a before and after version.

The book not only address how to repair your photos (and the photographer's mistakes) it also goes into things such as color calibration, printing at home, using the Adobe Bridge, working with the Camera RAW converter and how to make you photos into gallery prints- to name just of a few.

Not only is this book informative, it is fun to read too! You don't get that combo often! I would recommend it for anyone just getting started with Photoshopping their photos. It doesn't tell you all the silly things you can do with Photoshop (you know- morphing your brother's face onto your sister's body, etc...)but it is the perfect reference for those of us who want to learn how to turn a color photo into a striking black and white or how to get rid of the trash you forgot to move out of the way before you took that great picture of the kids on the beach. I use it almost every time I us Photoshop.
