Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: A very good book. Perhaps I can help to fix some errors. Here two: on page 516 the correct answer to the question 10 is c (not d as indicated); on page 526 the correct answer to question 3 is d (not c as indicated).

Summary: Excellent in depth info .... average test prep
Review: I just passed the test using this book for preperation. While it gives an excellent, in-depth overview of Photoshop, it falls a little short in actually preparing you for the test. I would highly recommend this book as a review before your test, but don't count on it giving you all the answers. Experience is the best study guide.

Summary: I want more input!!
Review: I was the project editor for this title, and I'd love some more input on this book. How could we have improved it? What did you especially like? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Summary: Look for Inaccuracy in some headings.
Review: The book so far is very good but I need to point out that on page 34 on the right side of the page is an inaccuracy in the labeling of the pen tools. The fourth pen, which is Add anchor point, is marked Convert-anchor point. The last pen which is in reality is Convert, is marked Add so watch for others that may also be in the wrong order.

Summary: Good information, poor test prep
Review: This is the only book I used to prepare for the Photoshop ACE which I passed with no problems...but then I have been using Photoshop for a zillion years already :) Yes it does have quite a few errors but you should be able to spot them if you really go through the exercises (and know your Photoshop..and, uhm, if you are going to call yourself an Expert, shouldn't you know the program?) All in all it's quite useful but could have been edited a bit more carefully. Incidentally! If you use Photoshop on the Mac be prepared to confront a very Windows-centric view of Photoshop in the actual exam.

Summary: Another Error If you have 1st Edition
Review: To help those still using the first edition like myself there is another error on page 513. They have b as the answer and it should be a.
