Title: Wanted: Editor for Photoshop Book
Product review: Don't get me wrong...There is a ton of useful information in this book. The included CD has a great collection of images that really make the lessons work.But this guy is a horrible writer. That's not his fault. The floggings should begin with the editors. (Which begs the question: Were there editors? Some are listed, but what did they do?)I don't mind dense text, when it knows where it's going. But being verbose on the excuse of being conversational just doesn't make it. Also, there are no conventions used in the text to help you navigate. Remember -- the reader will be splitting his/her attention between screen, book, and maybe some scribbled notes. Text conventions like bold-face for commands, different font for filenames, etc., can go a long way.I'm using it in a university course right now, and the instructor feels compelled to explain what the book is trying to explain. That just aint right.
