Product Description
Product Description
Adobe Photoshop is arguably the most comprehensive and popular photo editor around. Here are a couple of reasons why: When you work in Photoshop, you′re not drawing from scratch; you′re editing photos. Secondly, the program keeps you interested with a depth of capabilities that few pieces of software can match. Unlike other computer programs that have caught on like wildfire over the years, Photoshop is both powerful and absorbing.
Just because Photoshop is a pleasure to use doesn′t mean that it′s easy to master.

- Work with the program window

- Change the number of pixels in an image
- Define colors using the Color Palette
- Get ride of red eye
- Blur the edges of a selected area
- Apply filter effects

Dont be fooled by the title if you havent used photoshop before the basics are good however
not what I expected. In my opinion you really have to have a good deal of pre-understanding
of photoshop. The book for me is not clear and I found some parts difficult to grasp as
explainations are some what techno fied hence the need fro pre knowledge .
If you are looking to do tutorials and practice in my opinion this is not the book.
Disapointed that I couldnt get what I wanted from it Ill be looking again for something different
Guess I am a bigger dummy than I thought

As with all Dummies books I found this one useful to dip in and out of. Yes I had done a basic course on Adobe at my local tech collage and this was a useful reminder of what we were taught. If I was coming into it "cold" I think it might be a bit overwhelming.
What infuriates me about this and all the Dummies books is the attempt at being jokey. It is not necessary and is totally off putting.
PLEASE DUMMIES KEEP TO THE TUTORING AND LEAVE THE JOKES TO SOMEONE ELSE

Like other Dummies products I was not disappointed. They are easily understandable and full of wit making the content simple to follow. Some people are put off by the title 'Dummies' don't be they are an excellent series for beginners and others.
