I'm a complete novice when it comes to graphic design tools but I am an IT professional and I must say I found this book very heavy going and didn't help me get to grips with Photoshop. I searched the web today and found a free tutorial site which explains a lot of the functions I need and enabled me for the first time to do "simple" things like feathering, merging two images etc. The book has too much text and is very off putting to the beginner. I'm sure the information is in there somewhere but to me it's a chore to find it. I bought the book on the basis of some of the other reviews here and really had high hopes. Unfortunately, it will now be consigned to the bottom drawer and I will use the website I found to learn Photoshop instead.

This is a "must have" for any beginner like myself. The CD does have a problem with the tutorial files making it impossible to follow along with all of the lessons. So far, I have had no response from either of the 2 authors. In comparison with other books I have purchased to date, this would definitely be the best if it didn't have this problem. The book is expensive and should be all there! Maybe the authors are in the Bahamas. I hope they get back soon!

Very good book!! But the CD has a problem with the tutorial files. The authors promised to send a new CD but it never arrived.

This is a "must-have" for any beginner like myself. In comparison with other books I have purchased to date, this is definitely the best! Although some of the earlier editions had a problem with the tutorial files, (I got one) the problem was corrected by sending me a new CD. I have a lot of respect in the way they were willing to solve my problem and for the quick service in which the replacement was sent. If anyone else needs any help in this regard, contact Mr. Robert Clarfield at Coriolis. robert.clarfield@coriolis.com

The only wonderful thing about this book is that it is well written and the Author did a good job explaining Photoshop.On the other hand whoever put the CD-Rom together;Has totally screwed up.Chapters/File Folders 1,and 2 and missing almost every file that is supose to be on the CD-Rom.To keep it short and sweet.The Author did a perfict job on the book.But the CD-Rom Is defective.SO far I tried to contact the Publishing Company and both Authors about the CD-Rom and still no responce.If you want a book with a useful CD-Rom.Look for another book.But if your looking for the perfict book and can live without a CD-Rom to practice the lessions on.Then I say this is the book to buy.I give it For stars because the Author writes a great book.But the Production screwed up the CD-Rom.I will end by saying I am still awaiting a e-mail from the Authors and Publishing company reguarding the CD-ROM.

I can't say enough about this wonderful book. It's the best one on this subject in print, and I have a dozen of them....

Finally I got my new tutorial CD, thanks to Mr. Robert Clarfield from Corialis!
