This book was so comprehensive that, after reading it I began developing graphics for a company website using layers, etc. before reading this book, I tried to learn PhotoShop by trial and error and failed.

This review is from: Photoshop® 4 for Windows® 95 Bible (Paperback)

All I have to say is these other people don't know what they are talking about. This book was very easy to understand and a great reference for beginers, or advanced users of photoshop 4.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book, April 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Photoshop® 4 for Windows® 95 Bible (Paperback)

I use this book both as a reference, and as a textbook. I couldn't live without it. It is very comprehensive, and pretty easy to understand. The language is plain, and there's even some humor(though a bit corny : ) ). I recommend this book highly.
