FANTASTIC... EASIER THAN 1,2,3

This book was exactly what I was looking for. It's easier than taking a class in PhotoShop. The visual layout makes it so easy to learn the software. It walks you through every step and shows the screen so you know exactly what to look for. Even the most computer illiterate person, like myself, can easily master PhotoShop with the help of this book. I see that some of the other reviews say that it is elementary, but that's exactly what I like about it. It isn't a bunch of hi-tech guru speak that confuses the basic understanding. And if you have it open right next to your computer as you walk through all the processes, it is so simple to learn the program. Maybe it's not in depth enough for the experts, but its perfect for me. Highly recommend!!!!!
