Photoshop Cs3 Bible [With CDROM]

The book touches on everything I need to know for working with Photoshop. The authors share tips, tricks, and workarounds. If something works well or does not do what the user would expect, the authors say so. The topics are covered throughout the book in a clear, thoughtful manner. Unlike some other books on Photoshop, and I have several, this one is definetely worth every penny.

I found the Photoshop CS3 Bible to be both enjoyable to read and really informative. It has helped me improve my photos, and I've learned a lot about features I'd never used before and I've found better ways to use the tools I thought I understood! Photoshop's such a big program, you can never know everything, but this book has gotten me closer to that goal than any other book I've read or seen. The tutorials on CD are a great addition to the book, for people like me who need to see something done in addition to reading about a procedure. Unlike the other reviewer, I prefer the lack of a voiceover in the tutorials - any instructions someone might say out loud appear onscreen, so you can follow the tutorials anywhere, anytime - and not need sound to use them - and we're spared any jokes or unnecessary comments that most voiced tutorials seem to include. I'm using the sample images (and there are plenty of them) from the CD for practice, and they're really helpful. All in all, it's a great book, and I highly recommend it!

This one really is the Bible. As a beginner trying to teach myself Photoshop, I find it indispensable. The authors have a refreshingly direct, accessible, easy to understand style -- A permanent volume on my shelf.

I have been using Photoshop in my work for years, and recently acquired the new CS3 software. Photoshop CS3 Bible is a logical and concise reference. The beauty of this book is that it walks you through the many features of CS3, unlocking all of the power for which you have paid! Although this is a technical book, it is fun and easy to read. The book has added to my use of Photoshop in that I have found many more creative avenues with less experimentation. The authors have saved me time and frustration in my transition to CS3. Many thanks for a well written book! This may be the best CS3 plug-in you can buy. It wakes up your creativity!

With the addition of new tools in each edition of Photshop, this comprehensive reference book is something that must be kept within arms reach. Answers to your questions are explained in terms that can be uderstood by the novice or expert.
