Not for newbies, but if you're serious about your Photoshop or use it in your career, this is the book to get. The thorough coverage of Camera Raw alone makes it worth the purchase price. You'll find high-end coverage here you can't find anywhere else.

This is a great Photoshop CS book. As the other reviewer states, its not for the first time Photoshop user, but if you can handle the basics and you want to learn more, this is the book to get. I've had Photoshop for about a year, playing with it and trying to figure things out for myself, but after reading just 15 pages of this book, I learnt so many more tips and tricks - even for the basic tools! The full colour is really nice to read, and the author guides you through Photoshop in a friendly and helpful, and thankfully not arogant way.

I really recommend this book for the Photoshop user keen to learn more.

This book covers every item available in PhotoShop. I use it as a reference frequently and I am proficient at PhotoShop. Well worth the money spent.

Honestly, I was somewhat disappointed with McClelland's Photoshop CS Bible. I have been using various versions of Photoshop for over 6 years and have bought many Photoshop how-to books for most of the versions. I hadn't gotten around to getting a book for Photoshop CS until now. What I was looking for was a very detailed book getting into the changes made for version CS and especially getting into the details of the automated and batch functions.

Unfortunately this book barely touched on the specific new areas of Photoshop that I wanted to learn about, despite having over 1000 pages! I also noticed that there are only about 16 actual color pages in the whole book. For those just learning how to use Photoshop, this lack of color examples could be a real drawback.

This guy know his stuff. CS3 one on one is a better buy. The bible is a great referance book.
