Photoshop 5 for Windows for Dummies

i went through it with my term project images and got an A Simple to understand and basically just excellent. If your the kind who like to read through the entire manual first to get a rough idea of what photoshop is about, this is perfect. The humour was nice to have, but get slightly out of hand at times. But hey! it is a good book!

9 months ago when I first paid my $19.99 for this book I was a novice photoshop user at best. I read this book cover to cover and followed along on the CD, and what I learned was irreplacable. It did not make me a photoshop genius, but it did give me a VERY solid base in photoshop which vaulted my learning curve considerably. This book doesn't teach you the tips and tricks that make the images that turn heads, but it does give you an understanding of the software that allows you to pick up those tricks with ease. I design webpages for a living, and since that time I have been promoted to senior webdesigner of my company. So thanks Deke, well done.P.S. Not a book for advanced to expert photoshop users, but I still use it as a reference from time to time

A very complete book that covers the basics of Photoshop. You will learn this program by reading this book.

This book shows you all the shortcut keys that help you get around the program. The full-color pages show you what kind of effects PhotoShop is capable of, and the well-organized pages surrounding the color show you how to accomplish it. This book uncovers all the hidden wonders PhotoShop is capable of. If you paid $600+ for PhotoShop 5 then you need to pay the extra money to get a copy of this book. No matter what the cost.
