Praise for Photoshop CS3: Essential Skills:
"This book is a must for anyone new to CS3." "Amazon.com reviewer"
"Galer presents a really useful set of teaching tools: A fine set of DVD movie tutorials and exercise images accompany a well-written book...I have several CS3 books, and I like this one best." "Amazon.com reviewer"
"This book is worth purchasing for the DVD alone - it is an excellent way to learn CS3." "Amazon.co.uk reviewer"
"I would strongly recommend this book because the content is excellent and the supporting DVD, totally brilliant." "Amazon.co.uk reviewer"
"After years of badly designed software manuals we are now starting to see books come to life, and we'd put this on a pedestal above the best. Superb design, really clear illustrations, great photography and clean navigation. Mark's put his lecturing skills into practice to deliver a solid structure so you can't fail to find the area of Photoshop you're struggling with and then get the answers quickly. Hundreds of illustrations, sound advice. Lots of projects with quality photos so you really see how to convert to black and white, how to retouch and how to make quality cut outs, including one of the best guides to using the complex pen tool. If you only want to buy one Photoshop book...this is it!" "ephotozine.com"

Format:Paperback
I have over the past 2 or 3 years bought several books on Photoshop CS4 none of them are better written than this one. It takes you from calibrating your monitor (including what defaults to use)to getting good printing technique and how to use printer profiles and the explains loads of actions and transformations to be carried out on your pictures to get the best results, and as if that isn't enough there is also 10 hours of video lessons and tips on the included DVD.
I dont think I will ever need another book on Photoshop CS4 takes you from intermediate user to advanced but still has a lot to give to the new user who will want his own copy of this book within 6 months of getting started in Photoshop. BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ideal book for newbies and experienced Photoshop users. Good lay out and simple to follow. Although an experienced PS user, I knew there was many functions I had no idea how to use, this book has certainly helped.
Highly recommended

Format:Paperback
Photoshop is a complicated product that allows huge creative scope for photographers. This book is an excellent guide to using photoshop CS4 and allowed me (an amateur) to extend my use of CS4 and to turn some pictures from a snap into a competition shot. The book is structured for all levels of user and will not be out of place on a professionals bookshelf.
