commercial art department always used the newest edition of this book to get their students up and running on a Mac - 2009-09-28
Reviewer Rating:
When I took my first commercial art course I had to learn how to use a Mac instead of a PC. I discovered that the commercial art department always used the newest edition of this book to get their students up and running on a Mac. As the head of the department told us, "you will be working on your first art projects in Photoshop on a Mac in two days." He was right. He gave us a test to show we'd all read the book and then we all opened Photoshop on the lab Macs and we were off and running. Not a single student had a problem. There are more complicated books about Macs. There are books with more tricks to use on Macs. But there is no other book which can get you up and running a Mac and creating projects on software running on a Mac this fast. My sister just took a new job and the first day the company handed her a Mac. I told her to get this book and she was up and running fast too. To this day the commercial art department where I learned still starts every new student off with this book.
