Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 48 reviews. Photoshop CS3 how-to-book, 2009-04-21 Reviewer rating: Outstanding book. Even for advanced beginners this is an excellent book. Techniques that you would never think of using. As an example; using the "Inner Glow" layer style to remove haloing/fringe of background color. Works wonders for blending the edges and matching the color of your subject. This and other techniques and tool options you probably never realized were available. Also, a very good video is included. Deke McClelland does a masterful job of explaining both in the book and the video. Money well spent and I highly recommend it (there is also a CS4 edition)........ | Great Place to Start, 2009-04-20 Reviewer rating: I was a complete noob to Photoshop. I had zero, zip, zilch, nada, no exerience using Photoshop. This was the first book I read on the subject. It got me started immediately using Photoshop. Deke McClelland's watch, read, do approach to Photoshop worked wonders for me. Watch the video, read the lesson, follow the step by step instructions. It is a great introduction to Photoshop and, will prepare you for more advanced techniques. Although, it also includes more than a few tricks and, secrets that even experienced Photoshop users might not know. I have been using Photoshop for about a year now and, I still often refer to this book. Worth every penny of the cost. | Great instructions and lessons, 2009-02-28 Reviewer rating: I'm pretty new to Photoshop and CS3 extended so I found this book extremely easy to read and with easy directions to follow. The lessons are great and Deke's humour is good. I wish he would write some tecnique type books. I highly recommend this book to newbies to Photoshop. | PS CS 3, 2009-02-04 Reviewer rating: Great book for beginners in photoshop. I previously had no experience with photoshop at all and this book was easy to follow, especially with the video tutorials as well | Great book for newbees, 2009-01-04 Reviewer rating: This book provides a great hands on approach to Photoshop. It does include a CD tutorial walk through of the program for you covering each chapter. What is also great is he will require you to watch the cd first, so you can get an idea of what your going to do later on. I really didnt any trouble going through the lessons. I do feel some of the lessons will cause some frustration for newbees, but for what you get out of it, its worth it. What is also a great asset to the book is that he gives you what he calls "extra credit", which is just an ability to improve more in the lesson that you've covered. So get this book if you are new to photoshop and want to learn some cool features. |
