Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book was easy to follow.

⭐There is little here that you can’t find better described and illustrated in other more worth books on Photoshop. Most of the techniques are adequately described in Photoshop’s own online help manual. For example, Davis spends two pages describing color calibration for Windows machines. Her material is literally a lift of the Photoshop help file and fails to point out the crucial importance of truly accurate color calibration. This is typical of the book as a whole: instruction without explanation. A waste of money in my opinion. Anyone interested in increasing their Photoshop skills should spend considerable time either reading reviews of other books on the subject or thumbing through other tomes at the library or local bookstore.Jerry

⭐If you know a little Photoshop and have done a few things with and want to move to the next step, this is the perfect book for you. Directions are clear and concise and step by step. You’ll become a much better, more expert, and faster Photoshop worker following the reading of this very good book.
