5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice..., March 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Real World Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers (Paperback)
I'm a Photoshop (PS) beginner enrolled in a college PS course. It seems every book I've looked through and all the online tutorials assume you already use PS or are at least familiar with a previous edition. I bought this book because it gets down to the nuts and bolts of PS, telling me what each tool does and how. For me, this goes a long way in making something as complicated and non-intuitive as PS more understandable. The Kelby books are outstanding and nobody knows PS like him, but memorizing a series of steps without understanding them bugs me. Now I can learn the finer points of each tool, filter, whatever, and when I go back to my Kelby books, stuff makes more sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, August 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Real World Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers (Paperback)
I now have 3 PhotoShop books, 2 specific to CS4. The 1st CS4 book I bought is the Missing Manual, it's good and well worth having, but Real World Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers covers only photography and is done in a concise well structured manner. I bought the companion Camera Raw book at the same time and it is very excellent also.
