If you want to learn how to use the powerful tool that is Photoshop or simply need a refresher, this is the book to get. Small and handy, this book gives quick and easy, step by step exercises that are designed to help you overcome the overwhelming burden of muscling through Photoshop's daunting abilities. As an amateur designer, I recommend this book and the others in the Adobe CS2/CS3 Revealed line of textbooks.

The book does what it says and it will teach you Photoshop but the text can get a little confusing. For instance during the final projects and the end of the books some of the techniques they ask you to do are not to be found in this book nor could I find them in the index. Some of the steps it asks you to do are repetitive and have nothing to do with the task at hand. On the other hand I have learned a lot about Photoshop from this book and I am now confident in using the program. I do suggest reading the text in between the steps seeing how that clarifies a few things for you. For what its worth this book is worth the price and is great for anyone wanting to learn Photoshop.

This is a textbook I needed for a class, but I'm enjoying it anyway! There are a few items in here that seem to be done with less skill than the professor's method, but all in all, it seems like a good, user friendly book.
