Rating:  Summary: It's okay.. but wanders a bit Review: The book was not what I hoped for. She puts on good presentations, but the book just didn't come across as clearly to me.
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely a brilliant book!!!! Review: The title says it all. It's better than my professor.
Rating:  Summary: Roll-up your sleeves.. We're goin' in! Review: This book is excellent in so many ways. It's got a great layout,it's easy to follow, and the exercises really teach you (through example)how to get the most out of the PhotoShop5.5/ImageReady 2.0 Combo. Don't loan this one out to your friends, 'cause it won't be comin' back!
Rating:  Summary: Learn all about it Review: This book is the most easy learning I have ever read. Easy too understand, adn full og examples and explanations. It`s helpful for everyone, beginners and profesionales. Buy this book, and learn new things
Rating:  Summary: Good book, oh, and by the way, it's "lynda.com" Review: This is a great Photoshop/ImageReady training or hands-on resource. It really should be titled "Lynda's ImageReady training, co-starring Photoshop." The book is geared for those who know the basics of Photoshop, but it focuses on ImageReady, not Photoshop. It gets a little repetitive, but my biggest problems with the book are a.) all the blatant advertisements built into the lessons, and b.) the fact that their tech support is completely un-responsive. Every other exercise in the book contains a graphic with a marketing ditty for Lynda.com. I hope her upcoming Dreamweaver 3 HOT book is less obnoxious. My CD came with a scratch that made the files for one of the lessons inaccessible and I e-mailed her "tech support" for help. That was over a week ago, I have still not received a relpy, and I don't expect to. Why offer to help if you don't do so? Other than that, it is a very well written learning aid for how to apply ImageReady (and Photoshop) to the Web. I recommend it for anyone who already knows basic image manipulation.

Rating:  Summary: MUST HAVE MUST OWN BOOK Review: this is an absolute essential reference guide for anyone who wishes to understand the many complexities and features of Photoshop 5.5... her instruction is simple yet never condescending.... and the examples are always applicalbe to anything you might want to attempt on your own... i HIGHLY recommend this book... i can' t imagine my life before Lynda Weinman... also there are MANY MANY good links and reference sources included in this book... Lynda will become YOUR personal E-Guru!!!
Rating:  Summary: This is a fantastic and unbelievably useful book. Review: This is probably the most useful computer book I have ever purchased. It had levels of detail that are not only simple to follow, but also extremely useful in a real-world production environment. Every professional user of Photoshop 5.5 must have this book.
Rating:  Summary: Informative Review: This was the required textbook in a Web Graphics class at college. I agree with the reviewer below that there's a little too much advertising for lynda.com, but I like the way she writes instructions for the exercises (very simple, but without insulting your intelligence). I learned a lot about Photoshop and Image Ready. It's really not a "beginner's" book, as she makes clear (of which I still consider myself at this point). Also, the exercises are fun and informative.
