Summary: Not What You Would Expect
Comment: This book is a great resource with good content, but the shipping is unacceptable. I ordered this on December 9th and it has just now arrived 9the 30th). It took 21 DAYS for this to come in. Thats not 6-8 business days! Also, its in poor condition, like its used. There is rips and scratches on the cover, and some soiling of the pages. I don't mean its not usable, but its frustrating to order a new book and receive a used one. Two stars for the content, none for shipping or description accuracy.

Summary: Classroom In A Book
Comment: I ordered this book with my cs4 software knowing that the Photoshop team who put this book together always know how to get accross to even the most struggling student, which refers to me quite well. The book comes with a disc containing the lessons you should use to follow along while learning how to use every tool Photoshop CS4 has to offer. I'm so glad I purchased this book. I take a lesson at a time in the evenings. I find it helpful to repeat a lesson as soon as I finish to make sure the information I learned comes easier as the instructions progress. The instructors made it so you're using previously learned tools and methods in each lesson. This makes it easier to remember what you've learned.

Summary: definitive lessons in Photoshop
Comment: If you want to learn Photoshop, why not from its authors? This very recent text [2008-9] has lessons showing the many capabilities of CS4. The publisher/author was also careful to include many nice colour prints because after all, that is the point, isn't it?

The book starts from scratch, assuming no prior exposure to Photoshop on your part. It takes you thru the basics. But even in the early chapters, you are exposed to many powerful techniques, like the Sponge tool and the Healing Brush and Patch tools.

The most important chapters deal with layers. Of all the tools and ideas embedded in Photoshop, the concept of layers is perhaps the most powerful. The lessons give you fluency in it, and once you have this, compositing elaborate images becomes very feasible, largely limited only by your imagination.
