2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and outdated, 7 Nov 2008
Today any book on digital technologies is fatally doomed to become rapidly obsolete. This manual is no exception - and I personally find its poor production, low-grade photographic reproduction and generally colorless, uninspiring images to be particularly damning. If you really want to fiddle with Photoshop then get a real manual like Adobe Photoshop CS for Photographers: Professional Image Editor's Guide to the Creative Use of Photoshop for the Mac and PC by Martin Evening, which has no pretense of simplicity. Furthermore, as a passionate underwater photographer who takes one's hobby very seriously, I believe good shots should be taken in-camera and not tampered with afterwards. I can only suggest to those seriously interested in underwater photography to skip this amateurish product and to pick instead the rather stodgy but very informative The Underwater Photographer: Digital and Traditional Techniques by Martin Edge - which is good for learning the basics on a step-by-step basis - and the less technical but much more inspiring A Diver's Guide to the Art of Underwater Photography: Creative Techniques and Camera Systems for Digital and Film by Andrea and Antonella Ferrari, a lush, highly motivational photographic roller coaster which will have you itching for your camera and scuba gear. Approaching the subject matter from two completely different viewpoints, these two titles make an unbeatable and definitive combo when bought together.

1.0 out of 5 stars The book misleads you, 12 Dec 2009
The book is presenting obsolete techniques that will prevent you from achieving stunning results. I was truly disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5-Star Worthy, 21 Sep 2007
By Kirtland C. Peterson "Psy.D." (Baltimore, MD, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an experienced but not professional Photoshop user, I already had a good set of skills under my belt prior to color correcting underwater shots. I'd also done my internet homework and found plenty of good material out there. (YouTube, for example, has some great tutorials.)

I am cynical about most Photoshop books. Too often the same-old same-old just gets repackaged.

This said, I feel AP4UWP was excellent and well worth the price. In particular, AP4UWP helped me with those shots that really needed help but were worth preserving.

I've already recommended this book to every UW photographer I know.
