Summary: Good for beginners
Review: PhotoShop cs classroom in a book provides new users of PhotoShop good step by step lessons and will help a user build a good PhotoShop foundation. The book covers the more basic functions of PhotoShop but does not go into some of the more detailed aspects of PhotoShop that experienced users would be looking for. It also does not really explore how to use it in conjunction with other Adobe products like Illustrator or Go Live. Those that are trying to learn how to build web pages or design ads will be disappointed by this. Those that are more advanced users PhotoShop will be disappointed. The book never really states intended PhotoShop user ability level but it is mostly for the beginner to intermediate level user.

Summary: Lack of Attention to Detail Mars Series
Review: Subtle and blantant errors ruin what would otherwise be a decent guide into Adobe products. Most chapters in this series of books leave out vital information or the exercises on the included CDs are missing files or do not match the printed materials.

Summary: Not very accurate...
Review: This book would be good for beginners except for the fact that it skips some important steps that need to be taken. This was obviously written by someone who knows photoshop very well, however instead of going step by step as if writing for someone who has never touched photoshop he skips steps that more advanced users would catch on to, but a beginner would be left far behind wondering what they did wrong.
Fortunately it has a pretty cover and a nice price tag along with a few helpful items. If you are a beginner....look elsewhere. The manual is a better place to start.

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: This wasn't really a classroom in a book. It didn't guide me like a class & that is what I expected. Little disappointed with my first purchase in this series.
