Sams Teach Yourself Photoshop 5 in 24 Hours

Rating:
Summary: Great book for teaching the basics to a newcomer.
Review: I knew nothing about Photoshop before I read this book. 3 weeks later, after I finished the book, I feel like a very comfortable beginner. I can sit down at the program and I whiz through the many features like a pro! A must buy book for anyone who wishes to learn the very basics. You go away with an understanding of the multitude of easy-to-use features in Photshop. From there, you can purchase another book for advanced lessons or simply enjoy what youve learned. I am so GLAD that I bought this book.

Summary: Great basic intro. to Photoshop
Review: I needed to learn the basics of Photoshop quickly in order to get my web site up and running, and this book did just that. It was clear and easy to understand, and I was able to apply my new knowledge instantly. No, this book will not turn you into a power user, but that's not what it sets out to do. If you want to get up and running quickly, with a very reasonably priced book, this is a great choice.

Summary: Really Good Book!
Review: The lesson average was 45-60 minutes, the information was well presented, but as a brand new user - I needed to be presented with a very basic, detailed lesson from beginning to end. The end of the lesson failed to tell you how to use the knowledge you had just learned.
