Most Photoshop books come with a CD, but this is a CD-based training programme that comes with a book.
Photoshop 6 Learning Studio is an interactive Photoshop tutorial that uses your Web browser to show you how to get the most from Photoshop. It includes a copy of
Mastering Photoshop 6 by Steve Romaniello.
The course is divided into four sections covering "The Basics", "Mastering Techniques", "Reference" and "Hands on". The first three of these are like the Photoshop online help, only a lot more helpful. They go into more detail and provide numerous examples including screengrabs.
By far the most useful section though, is "Hands On". The action is shown as an animated sequence with a voice over so you can see which tools are selected, which sliders are adjusted and by how much and the results as the techniques are described and applied. Next to having the author sitting at your elbow showing you what to do, this is the best possible way to learn. There are nine Hands On sections including "Layers and Type" "Colour Adjustment", and "Web Design and Image Ready". A "Try Me" module provides an interactive version designed to teach you where and how the Photoshop operations are performed, and a "Test Me" module tests your knowledge by presenting several options and letting you choose the correct one. As well as turning off the audio or text descriptions you can pause the tutorial and skip forward or backward through the stages, so you're not restricted to one format or learning pace.
For Photoshop novices who prefer to learn by seeing, than by reading, Photoshop 6 Learning Studio is the ideal first step on the Photoshop learning curve. --Ken McMahon
