Title: A Very Poor Guide
Product review: As the reviewer D Helfrich noted above, while the Visual Quickstart Guides are generally very good, this one isn't.It's worse than useless. After a couple of hours with this book you will regret ever getting involved with Photoshop. Your only hope will be to open the online help.Photoshop is a great program. But you'll never learn it if you start with this wretched tome. Just my own experience.Try Photoshop 6 Artistry: Mastering the Digital Image by Barry Haynes, for a visual guide. For theory and tips, Realworld Photoshop 6 (from the same Peachpit press as the VQS series), isn't a bad book. Or for beginners, try Robert Stanley's idiot book.Anything but this book.
