Good Information, Careless Proofing, By CMOS (US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS3 On Demand (Paperback)
When I purchase a book that sells itself as a path to ACE certifications, I expect many things including depth and detail for every function. What I don't expect are incorrectly labeled captions, and misplaced or erroneous screen shots. This book *does* have many good examples and descriptions of important Photoshop CS3 functions, but this is marred by several pages throughout, that were not carefully proofed. Many beginners will be confused when they read how-to steps that actually contradict the screen shot and labels that are used for the same example.I typically stay away from SAMS and QUE books for this reason and this book turned out to be no exception. I won't be buying another one again. Try your luck with New Riders, Peachpit and Focal Press. Their Photoshop books are typically high quality and worth every penny (also because they not only proof things carefully but choose amazing authors).

Great for Intermediate+ and those seeking ACE certification,
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS3 On Demand (Paperback)
I don't believe I could have bought a better book, being at an intermediate level on Photoshop. This book is put together in such a well-organized, well-designed way, anyone already having some knowledge of Photoshop, but needing to fine tune certain areas or prepare for the Adobe Certified Expert exam, should find everything they need in its 500+ pages.Although it starts with the most basic areas: installing, first-time use, basic interface and tool use, the book doesn't go into a lot of discussion about each area. Those with no knowledge of Photoshop may be distressed at how fast the authors go on to other features of the program. The table of contents lists each task by page, color-coded by chapter. For those upgrading from previous versions, the authors display a "New!" icon next to tasks that are new to CS3. The whole book is full-color, with many visual examples. Each task is designed to be basic enough to be shown on one page, or two pages... Read more
