Summary: Mostly a fine book, with two shortcomings
Comment: I concur with most of the positive things that have been said about this book, BUT ... it is limited as a learning tool

Unfortunately, the images printed in the book are not included in the CDROM. The author's excuse is that they are copyright images and therefore can't be included. My view is that he chose the wrong photos, since it is now impossible to follow along with his book in photoshop.

My second beef is that his descriptions are sometimes unnecessarily complex and lack clear direction. Again, I am looking at this book package as a source of learning.

The big shortcoming is the lack of alignment of the CDROM with the book. I felt badly let down. If you forget about the CDROM, you will be much happier and probably give him 5 stars.

Summary: This is the book I've been waiting for
Comment: This book is not for beginners. But if you think you know Photoshop well, you'd do well to check out this book. There's advanced chapters on color adjustment, repairing an image, creating silouhettes, and more.

Summary: Very well written book
Comment: The book is very well written and seems to be complete. The Author has made several assumptions that may limit the usefullness and readablity of the book. He assumes that we are all planning to be commercial photographers with our work being prepared to be published and he seems to think that we have unlimited budgets and can afford scanners, cameras and printers that cost several thousand dollars apiece. One other small complaint is that the author being English has used numerous terms and measurements that are unfamiliar. A good book for advanced photographers
