Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Classroom in a Book

Rating:
Summary: Good for beginners
Review: This book is excellent for beginners (as is the 6.x version). It's chock full of tutorials. I wouldn't recomend it for the advanced user, however. I believe that the "Bible" series is appropriate for more advanced users.

Summary: Paying for the same material twice
Review: While the material in this book is useful, I resent having to purchase at todays prices a book that duplicates so much material already included in the book that comes with the original software. The least Adobe could have done is use different examples and include more detail on some of the concepts. Many users of Premiere also get their edition packaged with an editing card and additional plug-in software to enhance Premiere. There is very little help for this.
