1.0 out of 5 stars Without a single redeeming quality.
There is little here that you can't find better described and illustrated in other more worth books on Photoshop. Most of the techniques are adequately described in Photoshop's own online help manual.

There is little here that you can't find better described and illustrated in other more worth books on Photoshop. Most of the techniques are adequately described in Photoshop's own online help manual.

For example, Davis spends two pages describing color calibration for Windows machines. Her material is literally a lift of the Photoshop help file and fails to point out the crucial importance of truly accurate color calibration.

This is typical of the book as a whole: instruction without explanation.

A waste of money in my opinion. Anyone interested in increasing their Photoshop skills should spend considerable time either reading reviews of other books on the subject or thumbing through other tomes at the library or local bookstore.
