Review title: Not the best choice for photographers
Product review: If you're looking for a book that is aimed at photographers, or if you're looking for an understanding of the "whys" of working with digital images, this is not the book for you. It consists of a series of cookbook exercises that help you learn how to use photoshop, but once you're beyond the obvious you need to supply your own understanding of why you're doing something. The book doesn't help much with developing a foundation for your own ideas of how to work with Photoshop either. It might be a more useful book if you're an experienced graphic arts person and you're moving from physical to electronic work.Instead I'd recommend Photoshop 7.0 for Photographers, by Martin Evening or Photoshop 7 Artistry, by Barry Haynes and Wendy Crumpler.
