Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Wiley, the publisher was deceptive on the front cover of this book.
On the front cover it says, "100% Comprehensive-Authortative" This is a lie. I was trying to find out how to use the Actions feature. Actions are missing from the book. I emailed one of the authors. I was informed that Actions were left out. I was told that this book is the Standard version. The Professional version has Actions. A book that says on the front cover, "100% Comprehensive" should include everything on Photoshop CS2. There is no need for two separate versions. Who knows what else ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Photoshop CS2 bible
I am new to digital photography correcting and I didn't really find this book very helpful. It is full of information, if you know what is the purpose of the information. To me it seems like the on-line help that comes with the programme. I would also compare it to labels on medicine bottles......if you are a doctor then the chemical's name, proportion and mix make sense. If you are not a doctor then it is a case of "so What". If you are a "doctor" then it is just the thing for you. If you want something ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great reference; not the best for a new user
This book is a great reference It probably does contain everything you want to know about Photoshop CS2, but I wouldn't recommend this to someone as their first book on Photoshop. PS can do so much and this book tells you about all of it. It's just too much for a first-time user. Definitely buy this for your library, but don't start your education with it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - CS2 Bible
I know absolutely nothing about Photoshop. This is an excellent book to help in learning Photoshop. It was recommended by my professor and I trust his word. So I purchased it and I was not disappointed.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very good, but could use a better index
I'd already read this book before buying, so there weren't any surprises.

Overall, I'm very satisfied. In particular, there were few errors compared to most reference books published today. (Screen captures not always accurately described by the text, however.)

A few complaints:
(1) Lack of color in the figures and screen captures is a real drawback.
(2) It's supposed to be a reference book, yet the index is not very thorough at all. Sometimes it takes me quite a while ... Read More
