Customer Reviews

A manual is an advantage.

Thanks to a previous review, I knew that this book was written for the first version of PhotoDeluxe, which is what I have. This is not obvious and should be made so now. That said, the book was still helpful, although I have had the program for four years, and have learned a lot by experiment and reading the on-line manual which is not as thorough. The software was bundled with my scanner and did not include any text (or did Adobe never provide one?). As a 'third party" text, this book includes tips and projects--tutorials that are always helpful in getting to know a program.

Thought I knew PhotoDeluxe's capabilities until I read this.

I browsed this book at a Hastings' and was amazed at all I hadn't been using, even if this book was written for 1.0. I look forward to a new version of this book and will buy it pronto.

Good but now 1 version behind the software!

The Grottas have written a clear and detailed intro to using Adobe's PhotoDeluxe version 1.x. Unfortunately, PhotoDeluxe is now at ver 2.0, so this book is dated and needs revision.

An excellent book - allowed me to really use the program.

I was using only a small fraction of the capability of the PhotoDeluxe program before I learned of its full capablilities from this book. I guess I would have gradually - by trial and error - become more capable - but I needed this capability NOW. The book answered many questions and gave me much more insight. Highly recommended
