5.0 out of 5 stars Great for all users, 25 Mar 2002
By A. J. Parkes "sekrapa" (Dudley, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rather than go through thick manuals that presume you are an expert in the software, I always buy these type of books for ease to remind me how manuals should be written.

This book covers all the basic elements and menus that are needed to use Photoshop. You will be creating mini works of art in no time.

Whilst not going over every topic available (that would mean a book 10x bigger), itis a great place to start and a good reference manual. I keep it close by all the time for ease.

For the more detailed things that need to be done, you may need to purchase a more advanced book or rely on the manual.

I give it 5 stars becuase if you have Photoshop, you must have this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Guide to Photoshop Success!, 12 Mar 2004
Correct me if I am wrong, but every person new to a computer, and in addition software (which usually appears to be more complicated than it actually is), requires a basic guide to refer to. BASIC being the exact description here. When you are sat at your PC losing your patience rapidly, trying to work out a problem or wishing to accomplish something new, the last thing you need is an equally complicated 'how to' guide full of long, drawn-out paragraphs, boring pointless nonsense that you do not even need to know and big words, from an obvious computer/software genius who seems to assume that you know what you're doing already. Been there, done that. What can be more annoying?

This book, however, is genius in itself, owing to the fact that it basically excludes all of the complicated jargon, and actually keeps you from throwing your computer through a closed window. For a good hour or so, anyway.

It is obvious to see that the 'Complete Idiot's Guide' series was actually written for, generally, 'newbies' to the world of computing. After finding the title rather amusing I found that it is actually rather true (I also posess the 'Idiot's Guide to Acting' - I needed help after realising my talent sucked so much). Anyhow, if you require a simple how-to book with easy steps and basic have-a-go guides, then this is for you. Adobe Photoshop, whichever version you have (they are all pretty similar), can look pretty daunting upon first glance and nobody would expect a first-time user to create a work of photographic art. The program itself requires practise, and if you use this book along with the program as a step-by-step guide, then you will be well on your way to creating successful images (including putting your sibling's head on the body of an ape or whatnot - those are fun to practise with also. All in the name of art).

The 'Idiot's Guide' outlines a whole load of new and different techniques and tutorials. These include how to work with layers, layer techniques, how to merge pictures together, how to have fun with Photoshop and, quite frankly, everything you wish to know with regards to Photoshop 6. The book provides clear, colour illustrations to make the tutorials easier, and offers easy step-by step chapters. You can either read from the beginning and work your way up, or basically skip to different chapters depending on how you wish to work. It is just so simple.

Basically, if you own Photoshop and are new to photo editing, then you need this book. Avoiding the pointless jargon, this gets straight to the basics, leaving even the biggest 'idiot' to work with ease. Being new to Photoshop myself, I definitely recommend this book to all of the other idiots out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that helps the fool and the master, 9 Feb 2001
By A Customer
I'll keep this short so you might get a flavour of what the book is like. It's simple, informative, helpful and gives you what you need to know to get started with one of the best programmes on the Market. I strongly recommend it to all. Even if you are a master, as this book will certainly help on those days of Hum, Hum what was I going to do! So buy it if you are using Photoshop 6.
