Rating: - Great book for newbees
This book provides a great hands on approach to Photoshop. It does include a CD tutorial walk through of the program for you covering each chapter. What is also great is he will require you to watch the cd first, so you can get an idea of what your going to do later on. I really didnt any trouble going through the lessons.

Rating: - Cool, I know photoshop!
This is a cool book.
I'm in a small business class, and we are learning how to create ads, and setup blogs.
I run a small business selling flowers, and I have always wanted to create my own advertisements.
Bad thing is, photoshop is incomprehensible. I just did not get it.
now with this book, I DO get it. I love Deke, I think he is amazing, I love how this book takes you by the hand and shows you how to do stuff.

Rating: - Adobe CS3 One-One Tutorial Book
This is the second Photoshop tutorial by Deke Mcelland that I have purchased and well used. The first was on the CS version of Photoshop. He is easy to read and has an easy to follow format. The CS3 book is well illustrated and comes with sample photos and a very helpful "show-me" video tutorial disk. Altogether, I highly recommend the book (and the author) to anyone who is seriously interested learning PhotoShop. : - )
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.
