This book helped me start to understand photoshop. As a newbe to photoshop I needed a book to present an easy to follow, visual plan. This book did it for me. It helped me to understand other books I bought to teach me photoshop. I can build on the things I learned in this book. Not a book that takes you step by step through a photo retouch but will get you started with some photoshop tools.
The best way to learn I bought this book at the request of my instructor. This has been the BEST purchase I have made in a longtime. I have the CS3 for dummies and it explains but if you don't know then you don't know. This book has step by step pictures to teach, also every lesson is done on 2 pages only. GREAT BOOK! If you need to learn CS3 then you need this book. I own a sign and graphics company and this book really is an awesome tool for us here because you can reference quickly and can understand and comprehend a lot faster than just reading.
Great Beginner Book hands DOWN I have to laugh at this book. I have been a photoshop user for a long time and was given this book as course material for my intro to photoshop class that i had to take. I in my own record time finished this book in a week and half. I didnt really learn much from this book, but it was fun doing it. Dont let that scare you, this book is great for a beginner and touches on some great key facts for a beginner that needs to know, i just have been using photoshop for awhile and knew alot of the functions. I do feel that this book does not cover all the basics or features like some of the top need to know 100 how tos. In the long run, this is a great starting book for a user that wants to learn Photoshop CS3
Excelent for novice photoshop user Excellent handbook. It presents the information in easy pace and is easy to understand without computer by your side. It concentrates on the essentials and is excellent thing for persons that have zero knowledge in photoshop.
Fab-u-lous for beginners Clear, concise, readily understandable. It doesn't get better than this for the newby or someone who needs a refresher. Perfect!
