Negative Positive
Title: A lot of useful information, but carelessly presented.
Review: This is a very disappointing book and not recommended for someone who has not worked with previous versions of Photoshop, or anyone who is easily frustrated by poorly presented information. Although Mr. Clark appears to be knowledgeable about the content, he and his editor were very careless about the development of many of the lessons. Topics do no flow in a logical progression. References are made to tools or techniques that have not been covered in earlier lessons. References to tools are not easy to follow and are not supported through repetition or consistent visual clues. Several demonstrations are made without file references which makes it very difficult for the reader to follow along. Some files are in the wrong folders, some are missing and others are defective. There is a great deal of useful information in the book, but it was obviously rushed to press before it was ready for publication.
Is the review positive or negative?
