Negative Positive
Title: A very disappointing book
Review: This book is only for beginners who want to get quick recipes & don't care much to understand what they do.To define the user level as intermediate-advanced is very misleading: Mastering the file browser, cropping & resizing, the show must go on chapters are a complete joke that will only appeal to beginners that never read photoshop documentation.Color me bad, masking techniques, photographic special effects, back in black & sharp-dressed man may be of interest to users with a few week's photoshop experience.Chapter 3, 6 & 7 may be of interest to intermediate user that never had to deals with those kind of problems before.The book also gives bad habits, such as using destructive corrections when a non-destructive one is possible. e.g. in de-emphasizing nostrils, why apply the healing brush directly when you can copy the nostril on a new layer, fix it there & adjust the layer opacity & mode?
