Review title: This Book is not for Dummies or Beginners!
Product review: IMO, this is a terrible book for beginners. The structure is non-linear; within the first few pages the author references more advanced Photoshop techniques as if the reader understands what he's referring to.Frankly, I'm surprised the "for Dummies" group ever published the book. If you're new to Photoshop, this book will almost certainly confuse & frustrate.It simply is not a text that "Dummies" (read beginners) will get much out of. I read the first 3 chapters, and I still had no understanding of Photoshop's basic features.Perhaps it will be a good reference book as I become more adept at Photoshop, but I wanted a book that would teach me the basics.I've found both the "Photoshop CS2 for Beginners" DVD and "Adobe Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a Book" to be far superior choices for Photoshop novices.If I could rate this book a zero rather than a one, I would.
