User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars CS4
I have already learned a lot about this program and have put most into use.
5 Stars This is a very good book!
I’ve used every version of Photoshop since 3. I would be embarrassed to admit how many PhotoShop books I’ve bought and read. Somehow, I thought I would be beyond a “Dummmies” book but I was wrong. This is a very good book. It is reasonably thorough with just under 700 pages even though it is done in a concise fashion. It is beautifully organized and the writing is clear and crisp. There is excellent use of instructional images and graphics.
I’m very glad I didn’t miss this great book. If you want to get serious about learning PhotoShop CS4, you can’t go wrong here.
