Title: Not the book for beginners
Product review: This book was nothing but a let down.As a novice PS user, I found the instructions to be sadly lacking with steps left out, and directions that just didn't work.I had assumed from the name--Teach Yourself Adobe Photoshop 7--that the book would be geared to beginners. It wasn't. Maybe if I had used PS 6 or the like in the past I would have known, for example, that step 1, 2 and 3 were implied and that the author was starting at step 4. As it was, I was just confused.I also wonder if the book wasn't rushed into print too fast without the needed editing. There were quite a few techniques that I followed (many times) step by step that just did not work the way the author said they did.All in all, I would recommend that anyone interested in learning Photoshop do what I'm doing now and find a better instructional book.
