Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This Visual QuickStart Guide uses a combination of task-based instruction and strong visuals to teach beginning and intermediate users how to create great-looking images with Photoshop. Best-selling authors Elaine Weinmann and Peter Lourekas take readers step by step through all of today's Photoshop essentials: from importing digital photos through basic color manipulation and image correction to painting, masking, using filters, and more. Hot topics like working with Camera Raw, using the improved Photomerge command (that aligns and blends layers automatically) to stitch together images, making selections using the new Quick Selection tool and Refine Edge feature, and Smart Filters are all covered.

Both beginning users, who want a thorough introduction to the topic, and more advanced users, who are looking for a handy reference, will find what they need here. In this edition, using a fresh new design and now illustrated in full color, the authors have streamlined the text by focusing on the most efficient means of accomplishing a task, rather than explaining all possible methods. By the end of the book, users will have a solid foundation for working in Photoshop CS3. Additional intermediate topics can be found in the author's follow-on book: Photoshop CS3: Visual QuickPro Guide.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not Very Good
I bought this book because of the title but I have to be honest the examples are not very clear. I look for a book that has clearly explained examples that lead you to a final product. This book doesn't even tell you which examples to open for each chapter. Most books say open the file (and gives the file name) then it walks you through each step explaining what is being done as you go. This book doesn't do that as evidenced in the chapter about layers where is doesn't clearly explain which files to ... Read More
