Summary: This is NOT the "quick and easy way" to learn Photoshop!
Review: Don't waste your money on this book if you're new to Photoshop. The authors provide no frame of reference as they immediately delve into the various palettes and toolbox and to other areas that will have you throwing the book down in disgust. There are better books out there for beginners but this is certainly not one of them.

Summary: The book was a waste of money
Review: I found a quick start guide way to basic a guide for me. I've been using Photoshop since version 4.0 and found that this didn't help much I recomend the Photoshop5 Bible (IDG Books)for more help and a guide to those things that you haven't found out how to use in PS 5.0. The book was a requirement for a class I took if it wasn't for that I'd say no way... I'm still waiting for the Wow! 5 book if its as good as Wow!4 it also be a winner to look into.My .02

Summary: I can't believe this book was required reading for my class
Review: I've been reading many popular Photoshop 5 books available out there and this is one of the worse. I was so confused by it. It was very mechanical and gave no helpful advice. The authors had the most dry and boring writing styles. I wish the money I put into buying this book went into buying Photoshop 5 Bible instead.
