4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Book to get you going,
By bubba (Gary, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photoshop 6 In An Instant (Paperback)
I would have given this book 5 stars if it were more complex. I don't claim to be a Photoshop expert at this time but this book is really good for getting up and running quickly and the authors obviously put a great deal of thought and time into the creation of this book. It takes one to know one. As an author, instructor and translator you can see the organization that went on to simply present a complex software for new users. Well Done. Not a book for advanced users but well done.

Like a Really Good Balloon Help,

This review is from: Photoshop 6 In An Instant (Paperback)
The book is short on details and doesn't offer tips or tricks. However, it does present most of the tools with great screen shots showing you how to use them.I think this book would be good for someone who already has completed the basic Photoshop tutorial. It will help familiarize them with the tools and their functions. If you already know Photoshop, you won't gain too much from this book. For beginners only.
