This book is great if you are new to Photoshop.You can't make a mistake because there are large color screen shots of every single task. I went through the entire book in 2 weeks and have made some great web graphics. This is a must have if you want quick results.

Being a beginner when it comes to Photoshop & reading the reviews I purchased the book. It is very nice, visually stunning and very well written, however most of the screen shots are for MAC while the written explanations are Windows based. The book covers each step briefly, yet maintains a level that everyone can understand. It left me wanting much more...Nevertheless; I find it very useful as a reference manual because of the short, brief & concise explanations.

After reading the first review, this sounded like the prefect book to buy. I just got Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and needed a beginner type book. It is set up for beginners, but I think the explanations are too brief. This book is more of an overview of features that a how-to-use book. I returned it. Still looking for something better.

I have been using (and teaching) Photoshop since its beginning and have a half dozen books on the subject. I consider this one of the very best books for beginners. The color illustrated steps really make it easy to use. The subjects covered should be more than enough for any beginner to handle in a 12 month period. What it doesn't do is clone you through someone else's masterpiece. There are other books that may be better, but not for beginners with a shortage of time!

i think this book is perfect for beginners, i really
enjoyed reading it, the author wrote it in a very good \
and organized way, the colors make reading more interesting
as a beginner i learned very good from it, i was intending
to take a course in adobe photoshop but after reading
the book i am able to work on my own. the book only
lacks giving us several made pictures giving us more
ideas than those present in the book
