Amazon.com Review

If you use Photoshop in Windows and you haven't taken advantage of plug-in filters yet, get this book now. It is extremely well written and illustrated with stunning yet practical examples of how each major filter tool works, and it comes with a great CD that contains many fully functional samples of the best Photoshop plug-ins. Very highly recommended!

Review

Superb, fluid guide to Photoshop 3.3. Concisely written and beautifully illustrated, this is a rare, stunning treat for both mind and eye. The CD contains hundreds of stock photos, filters and filter demos, Adobe Software demos (including Photoshop), and miscellaneous goodies. -- Computer Book Review

This review is from: The Photoshop 3 Wow! Book (Paperback)

A facinating look at several advanced techniques in photoshop, and a re-examination of commonly used ones. Topics include; channel masking, carving, beveling, photo-retouching, plus a bank of images to spark inventivness...

Overall, it reads like stereo instructions, with a step-by-step description for each of the many lessons. ***
