Summary: Learning Photoshop made FUN & EASY!
Comment: I am an Information Technology Training Specialist currently taking a free online course for Photoshop 6. I am learning more (and having more fun) using the Classroom in a Book than I have from the online course and the book it is using (Visual QuickStart Guide). The tutorials in this book are great and provide the detailed steps necessary to complete tasks as well as references to where you can access more in-depth information from Adobe's online Help. The book covers how to complete tasks in ImageReady as well as Photoshop. One of the first things I recommend is printing up the Quick Reference Card so you can add your own notes to it -- an irreplaceable guide! To ensure I've mastered the lesson, I recreate the end picture on my own.

Summary: Well written and an enjoyable read.
Comment: Consistently well written with lessons used in Adobe's official training and certification program. Solid instruction book! Period!
Since the book assumes no prior knowledge, it will benefit beginners the most. Topics covered include the work environment, tools and palettes, working with selections, layers, masks, channels, retouching, effects, color management, and creating images for print or the Web. Context-sensitive options bar, layer sets and layer styles, weighted optimization (which allows you to specify varying qualities of JPEG compression in a slice or image), image and text warping, and the new support for vector-based art. You'll also learn how to create slices both in Photoshop and ImageReady and rollovers and animations in ImageReady.
Entire book covers: Painting, editing, and photo retouching, working with pen tools, vector shapes, and clipping paths, colorizing and applying filters, color management, preparing art for print or Web creating slices in both Photoshop and ImageReady, creating rollovers and animations in ImageReady using Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe GoLive in designing Web pages.
Truly a fun and enjoyable read. This is the best book on Adobe by far!

Summary: Good for "How?" not "Why?" or "What?"
Comment: If you want the practice and need a step-by-step lesson, this is a good book. I did want the step-by-step practice, and I'm still glad I bought the book. However, it only tells you what to do. It's not very good at explaining why you're doing it or what exactly the overall effect will be. Also, any tool, filter, etc. that you don't learn about in the lessons, you don't really learn about at all. I think it's a great book for practice, but it's probably best used in conjunction with another book that doesn't have lessons but gives a better explanation of the tools, what they do, and when and why to use them. An example is probably Photoshop 6 For Dummies. I haven't bought it yet, but I've looked through it, and I think it will be helpful if used along with Classroom in a Book.
