I was impressed with how much I learned!, December 10 2008
This book is so good that it was a fight to see who could spend more time with it, and a scheduled had to be agreed on.
Although we have several books about Photoshop, this one got me and my family really interested because it not only gave exercises to follow but it also explained why we were doing this or that and gave really good insights on how some parts of Photoshop work.
I am an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop and I learned a lot from this book, from simple things I never thought about to very complex things that I would have never considered without this book.
The Pearls of Wisdom sections are priceless, even if you don't read the entire book you should at least read those.
Media reviews
"This brilliant book [is] written by one of the most award-winning technology writers, who wrote over 80 books (more than 20 on Photoshop.) "
-- Nadia Russ, Wonderpedia
"There is fantastic value in this book because of the way the material is organized and presented. You are definitely going to learn something when you can read the material, watch the material and practice the material as it comes at you in these well-paced lessons...There is incredible content here. The video material does not repeat the written instruction -- it complements it. That is 5 hours of personal class time at your convenience with one of the best instructors out there! "
-- Brett Merkey, Amazon.com
