Rating: - Great Product Condition, Fast Shipping!
I am very happy with how quickly this product got here! Thanks Amazon. Would order directly from Amazon again. But not their used/independent dealers. (The used dealers are not worth the tie and trouble they put you through).
Amazon did a great job.
Rating: - Photoshop CS3 Enhanced
The book comes with a disk that contains videos and lessons, very helpful. However it is still difficult to do the lessons. I would be lost if I were not taking a college course with an instructor and lab assistants for help.
Rating: - Adobe Photoshop CS3 one-on-one
This book reveals how to use many valuable tools in Photoshop. I've been using Photoshop for many years, but this book surprises me chapter after chapter with all the hidden tools I never knew existed, or tools I didn't know how to use such as the variations tool in adjustments and the quick select tool. Adobe Photoshop CS3 one-on-one is a "must have" reference book for photographers.
Rating: - Great Book!!!
A great book for anyone who is learning Photoshop, either at home or at school. I recommend it to anyone who is new to Photoshop.
Rating: - very helpful
Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is there is little content on graphic creation. There is a chapter dedicated to it, but I was hoping for a little more. The chapter is very helpful though. As far as learning how to edit photos with Photoshop- it could not be more helpful- it covers everything! And the CD that comes with the book is incredibly helpful as well.
