Fundamental Photoshop: A Complete Introduction

No good but VERY GOOD.This book made you to deep concept Why RGB? , Why CMYK? , How about ILM and Photoshop? , and many more.Advise to beginner but you must persist, example and detail will move you to real photoshop.I gave 4 stars cause of some tool not deep example level, histogram and other.Common tool can use with every version.I had one.

I once bought a Photoshop 5.5 book for the web by another author, thinking it could help me get some productivity out of the software. I didn't get much out of it that I had to scour bookstores for an alternative. Too bad my initial $39.99 went to waste. If I had only found this book first...The contents are well-filling, especially for a beginner. But it isn't just for beginners--in depth discussion of Photoshop's and ImageReady's features fill the pages. Illustrative examples with step-by-step guides, tips and proven techniques make this an indispensable reference for beginners and for digital art professionals, as well. Layers, filters, paths, animation,web features, customizations, and many other essential topics are discussed with clarity. Additionally, the CD attached complements the book's content well. I finally found a book that's worth my money and worth vouching for.
