With this book, Lee Frost has proved once again that he is one of the best photography authors. This book does an excellent job of breaking down the various photoshop techniques into easy to follow step-by-step instructions. Over the last couple of years I have purchased a number of digital photography books and even though I'm fairly competent with a computer, they never helped me to fully grasp the power of Photoshop. This book does exactly that in an organized fashion (topics are sorted A-Z). A must have for your photo collection (also try his other books including A-Z of creative photography and guide to low light and night photography).

This book makes working with your digital photos soooo, so easy! The easy to follow step by step instructions are the best. I really had fun transforming snap shots into a real photograph. Lee Frost is a very good teacher. He makes it easy to follow, understand, and recreate. Anyone who enjoys working with digital photos would absolutely LOVE this book! Great!

I found this book on digital photography to be a good introduction, though its focus not so much on picture taking techniques, but rather on what to do with a picture with Photoshop once you have the image, and yet the author assumed that one was already familiar with Photoshop. I can imagine how difficult it must be to write a book on digital photography and not include Photoshop, as the two are inter-related. Had I to do it again, I would probably just purchase something on Photoshop like "Classroom in a Book."

I have Lee Frost's A-Z of Creative Photography, which is an excellent book about numerous creative techniques for taking pictures. I purchased this one for my mom thinking it was an updated version considering the change from film to digital. It's actually a book about techniques of post photographic manipulation and computer production. It's probably good for that purpose, but I think it's mis-titled. I gave it three stars because I didn't review the book personally, but would give his other one 4-5. I made the leap that this one is likely decent for it's intended purpose.

This book is absolutely the thing for people who need to use Adobe Photoshop. It doesn't cover the methods of actually taking a picture, but it is great for learning how to correct, add effects, alter and manipulate pictures with Photoshop. It gives detailed, step-by-step instructions, with helpful shots of what your computer screen should show and where to find each tool and menu item. Because of the differences in the versions of Photoshop, some of the processes mentioned were under different menu locations than stated in the book, but you'll find them if you look. If you own a digital camera and any version of Adobe Photoshop, you need this book.

Excellent!! No problems, my book was sent to me in a very short time and was exactly what I needed.

Service was super!
