Excellent book!

Before I start, I know that this book is NOT the all-inclusive book and, yes, there will surely be things missed or glossed-over. After all, it's called a Visual QUICKSTART Guide, not the Visual It's-all-in-there Guide.

I bought the book for the Vanishing Point instructions: a whole page. I know, I know, but I looked online and the Adobe website instructions kept leading me astray. This book's explanation nailed it the first time.

There is so much in this book it would take forever to list, and I don;t really feel that any one thing (other than the Vanishing Point) stands out to make mention of.

All of the screen shots are of a Mac interface, so if you REALLY have it out for Mac or just can't see the connection then you may have trouble with that. Mac, Windows... it's so close in functionality that it's a no-brainer.

Get this book for your Photoshop CS2 needs.

Great for easy and detailed reference of everything in Photoshop Menus/Tools

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2005

Verified Purchase

I found this a great book to go over and learn everything on how this program works (and lots of stuff that most training books don't cover). Now true, I and others find it difficult to use as purely a training manual (I like projects to learn from) and this provides no projects. But after completing my How To Use Illustrator AND Photoshop books, I got this book to go through and have a real understanding of the menu's and for easy and quick reference if I can't figure out how to do something. So I highly recomend it for that reason alone. As for learning the programs from the ground up...depends on your learning style.

Great book to have on hand

I got this for a college class on digital art tools and still have it and reference it today. It is very helpful on refreshing on myself on specific tools and where to find them in the maze that Photoshop is sometimes to one of us who don't use it on a daily basis.

Another winner in the Visual Quickstart series

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

I had photoshop 5 and the corresponding Visual Quickstart guide. When I upgraded to CS2, I bought this book based on my satisfaction with the previous version. I was not disappointed.

The concept of these books is to provide a 1-3 page illustrated lesson on real world tasks. With photoshop, that works particularly well. I am an occasional user, and this book helps me get great results fast.

Could of been better

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2007

This book contained a lot of information, but unfortunately the directions are rather shaky. The way they describe the information is correct, but telling you how to get to the steps is extremely hard to follow.

The book that I found much better is:

Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Photographers by Martin Evening

Straightforward Photoshop

This text provides pretty much everything that you would expect. The information was detailed, clear and understandable (to me, at least). There was nothing particularly great about the layout or graphics in the book, but it did its job.

The book is pretty easy to get around and find what I want to do with the program.
