If you're just starting out learning Photoshop, this is probably the best way to learn. I understood everything easily, but I had fooled around with the program a little bit before. People who are less experienced with Photoshop may be confused or find it moving too fast.

I found this worked best when I skimmed it all the way through, then tried to go through and read while I tried stuff in the program. Then, if I forgot how to do things, I looked them up in the book and it usually answered my questions. Still, it was a bit round-about at times and there were some things I were trying to do that it didn't explain.

This is an excellent resource for anyone learning PhotoShop. I've always liked this series of books. Straight-forward with no BS or bulk. Great job. Also, I do not know the author, or work for the publisher, so this is a totally objective review.

If you're a beginner at Photoshop this is an excellent book to get started with. All the tools, menus, and options are explained at the very beginning of the book. As you progress forwards in the book, photos and other pertinent graphic details show how each tool will affect your work. This book is not for the advanced Photoshop user, unless you need help with some of the basic Photoshop proceedures. Within the first 100 pages of this book I noticed my knowledge had increased dramatically. See for yourself, try it.

It looks like they have sold out the 5 version and are subsituting the earlier 4 version

I guess this book must me good. I never read it, but I'm buying it because it is one of the recomended books from my Director Class at school. The Dean recomends this book to all of us because it is an excelent resource for beginners and PC dummies like me. Therefore, I guess it must be good. Also a few buds of mine told me so. Also this must be the most dumbest review you ever read..ha...ha...ha
