 GREAT BOOK October 9, 2008
This is a wonderful book and I think it will be very helpful in the classroom.
Adobe CS3 Classroom in a Book October 7, 2008
As a novice with Photoshop, other than Elements, I was looking for something that a beginner could use. This book was just the thing. Broken up into 1-2 hour lessons, it takes the user step by step through each lesson. The included CD with working files and some videos allows the user to see a final product before starting on each lesson.
The only down side to the book, and for some it will be a major downside, is that many of the reasons behind techniques are not well explained.
How about "wonderful in a book" ? October 3, 2008
I had been looking for something that taught the basics and purchased the dummies book a week or so prior. I like doing tutorials online but they always skip steps. This book has been a lifesaver because it gives you the tools and practical applications. This is without a doubt, for this person anyway, the best book out there to actually learn how to use PS. I wish I had seen it prior to purchasing Dummies, I haven't even cracked that book since I go this one. I love the lessons and step-by-step instructions!
Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a book October 3, 2008
Very good self-teaching guide for the most part. Early chapters are easy to follow and the concepts are easy to grasp. By the time chapter 6 is reached the material is more difficult to grasp but the chapter is well written but the material should be broken up into either a separate chapter or into more chapters. This is primarily because the subject matter involves sometimes subtle effects. Have not made it past this point in the book yet but at about halfway through the book it looks good.
Excellent teaching book October 3, 2008
Excellent book for the novice to learn photoshop. The CD has the lessons and the descriptions take you through a step at a time, VERY easy to learn. And it's not necessary to go through in order, you can jump to whatever technique you want to learn next.
