Weinmann has put together the beginner's book. His writing is clear and concise, and he doesn't try to cover everything in the world. Yet few users will actually outgrow the use of 20 percent of Photoshop's capabilities. Davis offers another good book for novices that comes with the added advantage of having practice images for the lessons included on the CD-ROM.
