apropos approach

Indeed, the book's format is very apropos. It explains Photoshop to a beginner. But Matthews took the approach of emphasising illustrations showing what you can do with Photoshop. A natural fit, given what it is used for. So, deliberately, the amount of textual content is relatively minimal. Instead, you are shown in detailed graphics how to accomplish common tasks. Like touching up images. Or cropping or rescaling. Along with very little jargon to learn.
