Expensive book with lots of mistakes. Has some useful information but could have been better organized.

David Huss is a master of informal expository writing. In my class, he would get an "A". After years of banging bits (programming) I jumped into graphics and illustration. As a bookworm, I bought several volumes on the subject (much to Amazon's delight) as well as on Photo-Paint and Draw9. Huss's work stands out. He answered questions I was too embarassed to ask, and entertained me along the way. Buy the book. Your money is well invested whether used as a tutor or a reference.

David Huss is Mr. Corel PhotoPaint. He is the recognized expert on this product. This book contains excellent examples, tips $ techniques, and tons of Dave's wisdom...buy it.

Huss obviously knows his stuff. The book uses mostly b&w photos -- not a good idea in a book about graphics. There's a ten page color insert that refers to the appropriate chapters (with their b&w photos). It covers all of the topics, but I learned little beyond what he has already put on the internet for free. It's a good reference and certainly better than the Corel "docs." Buy it, but it won't change your life.
