When I first got this book, I knew nothing about Photoshop, except that it was a very confusing looking program. After going through just a few chapters step-by-step, I quickly became comfortable using the program, which in my mind, is the purpose of the book. The companion web site wasn't really much use to me at all. Now I use the book as a "How do I..." referenceOverall, I felt it was very well organized, easy to read, and well written. Certainly one of the better $40 book purchases I've made!

This book is ok for the beginers. I also find this book helpful but it has some difficulties that I find after buying this book.Such as in CD Rom there are some third party's plugin does not work properly. So I think it is better not to give or include with this CD ROM. This book also lacks of colorful picture for illustrating. After all, it is a book about teaching on images.
Best book to really learn Photoshop

I've read many books about Photoshop, but still thought I wasn't using it to the full potential. Now that I've found this book, the situation will change. The book is thorough and easy to understand. You can use the Waite Publishing site to expand on your knowledge or use the book standalone.
It's Great!

Yes, this does read something like a textbook at first glance. It goes beyond the traditional boring textbook style by containing many,many interactive projects. In fact, most of the book consists of hands-on practice with the myriad of elements that make up Photoshop 4. The only reservation I have about the book is-can one possibly remember it all. The author apparently can, I'm not sure I can. My fault. I wish I'd had Sherry London for a teacher when I was in school. This book is excellent!
