This book is excellent value for the price. It takes you from basic procedures up to some very clever editing.
I bought this book as a 70th birthday present for a friend and he is delighted. My choice of present was based on the fact thet I bought the same book for myself some time ago.

apropos approach
5 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
Indeed, the book's format is very apropos. It explains Photoshop to a beginner. But Matthews took the approach of emphasising illustrations showing what you can do with Photoshop. A natural fit, given what it is used for.
So, deliberately, the amount of textual content is relatively minimal. Instead, you are shown in detailed graphics how to accomplish common tasks. Like touching up images. Or cropping or rescaling. Along with very little jargon to learn.
