 Just a brief introduction to PhotoShop April 1, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is very good as a brief introduction to PhotoShop, however if you are seriously involved into graphic design, you will need a lot more information. You could "breeze" through the book in five days, so if you buy it,prepare your wallets to spend money for the next one. If you create images as a hobby, the book might be just enough for you.
 Great Introduction to Photoshop January 2, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is set up with lessons in each chapter and lengthly step by step how to's. It contains a lot of content for the size of the book and even a newcomer will gain a strong comprehensive skills at Photoshop. One of the best resources for learning Photoshop. Will shave years off the average Photoshop learning curve. The book allows the student to really see the true power and depth of the program, as well as introduction to special effects. All the matrial is presented in a light fun manner, by the books author. The down side is that the files are not always where there supposed to be or what they're supposed to be, but that's true of most of the lesson books from this publisher. At least this book has most the files even if they're not in the right folder, try the other folders and they'll turn up. There are also several Web sites and resources mentioned in the book that are helpful, including the author's Web site(where he features tutorials described in the book) Definately a great tool for learning Photoshop and there are also resources in the that offer guidance on where more advanced skills can be aquired. Photoshop doesn't have to be as scarey as people claim it is. OK it may take a little longer than 21 days, but a book like this one invites you to take the time and explore. It's worth every minute spent.
A lot of useful information, but carelessly presented. January 2, 1999
This is a very disappointing book and not recommended for someone who has not worked with previous versions of Photoshop, or anyone who is easily frustrated by poorly presented information. Although Mr. Clark appears to be knowledgeable about the content, he and his editor were very careless about the development of many of the lessons. Topics do no flow in a logical progression. References are made to tools or techniques that have not been covered in earlier lessons. References to tools are not easy to follow and are not supported through repetition or consistent visual clues. Several demonstrations are made without file references which makes it very difficult for the reader to follow along. Some files are in the wrong folders, some are missing and others are defective. There is a great deal of useful information in the book, but it was obviously rushed to press before it was ready for publication.
A good "learn the basics" book - tutorial based November 11, 1998
This book is certainly for those who have little or no experience with Photoshop, rather than people upgrading to v5 from earlier versions. Well written in easy to understand English, the author provides a step by step guide to Photoshop in tutorial form for the reader to work through at their own pace, from introducing the PS environment to using special effects. On the downside, the colour management sections are a little confusing however, and in some cases totally misleading, so beware chapters 7 & 16.
