I bought this book for a class that I am taking and it is very well written and in full colour, which may or may not be important; to me, it is. It is pretty thorough. I have had some experience with Photoshop, but I have learned a great deal about this program that I hadn't known before hand with this book. I am waiting for the Illustrator CS4 book to be released.

These CS4 QuickStart Guides look like a great idea. Was told about them by a friend who said they start you off just like you don't know anything about the product and walk you through the whole product bit by bit.

Wonderful idea. Will buy more of these to get myself caught up on Adobe's line.

I found this book easy to understand with its color images of the photoshop menu settings and step by step instructions to more tasks than I knew existed. Since it's jam packed with information, skimming for the pictures brought me back easily to what I needed again after I forgot what the technique would be listed as in an index.

I've tried looking up certain PS tricks online but I usually end up wishing I had this book handy. You can find what you want to do quicker. The tutorial examples ranges from simple tasks to complex, so whatever your level of expertise, you should be able to find the instructions you need. The healing brush tool (instant wrinkle remover) on p. 290 is my new best friend.

I still refer to this book when I need to look something up that I'm questioning how to do it. Great book to look back at when there is no on else around to ask.

Great product. Fast shipping. This book is better than my Digital Imaging Teacher's lectures and it's how I got my A- in class.

This book was a book I needed for a college class I
just finished. It was very helpful.

Has a lot of details, but does not go into some advanced techniques. I wish it did.

I bought this book hoping it would be a good start for someone who has never used Photoshop. I was very wrong. The book is very poorly organized. It rambles on about things you don't need to know to start out. For example the very first thing you need to do is create a new document yet the book does not tell you this. It tells you how to create a new document but hides this topic in the second chapter.
