5-0 out of 5 stars Buy this book!
This book is written to address directly the kinds of procedures that photographers want to know about Photoshop. Instead of looking at Photoshop from a programmer's perspective (i.e. here are all of the cool things the crop tool can do) Kelby approaches Photoshop from the other side, in a humorous and simple style that starts with what the PHOTOGRAPHER wants to do and then tells you which tools to use and how. If you are looking for a manual that lets you quickly and simply do what you want, get this. By the way, many of the techniques will work with Photoshop Elements. In other words, for under a hundred bucks you can buy this book and Photoshop Elements and do some fantastic things to your photographs. Great book!

4-0 out of 5 stars A good quick reference
I recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn how to handle common tasks within Photoshop.The book targets the novice user who has not yet mastered Photoshop.Scott Kelby takes a light-hearted approach to many of the common tasks and every step is illustrated with colorful screen shots.The text avoids technical jargon and is written in conversational language.The price is right and it is well worth the purchase.Do not purchase this book if you want to gain a mastery over PS and want to know the intricities of the application.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff
I have only read 3 chapters and have already learned new tricks.Very good. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A must-have for ANY editor who uses Photoshop
Quite simply, this is THE book to have if you're an NLE editor. Richard Harrington brings a comical, jovial style to what could be very boring geek speak and it makes it almost fun to go thru this book. (OK, that WAS a geeky comment, but whatever...)
5-0 out of 5 stars Third times a charm!
This will be my third time purchusing this book, because I need the DVD! the first one I got was really scratch from me not taking care of it. The second I lost and have no idea where it is. This time I'm going to copy the dvd on a drive and a dvd-r so that I can won't lose it! This is a really great book by the way! There's a little something for everyone who uses video and photoghraphs.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excelent for editors/designers in the road for being pro's
I read the book for the version 7.0, still not CS, but I think that goes by the same way. That book explains in an excellent way how to do things that sometimes are overlooked or seems very difficult to use, but thanks to the book the reader can discover it is not. It's a never-ending book because it includes a DVD with explaining videos, tutorials, lots of samples, free filters, demos, patterns, actions, etc. and in the book there are profiles of pro's explaining what they use photoshop for and tips, and their websites. So you visit the website, and there are lots of links, and you visit that links and so on, so you never end. Besides the author's sarcasm makes it easier to diggest and laugh sometimes. Has many shorcuts too. One detail is that you have to explore the entire disc very well because it has files never mentioned on the book, and there are images in the book that would be very useful to be on the disc. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A Little Something for Everyone From the Novice to the Professional
This book by Scott Kelby and Felix Nelson has a little something for everyone from the novice to the professional. Especially for the novice, each tip is fully illustrated with complete and easy to follow instructions. Also, I especially liked that there was no CD or image downloads. Because the authors did not rely on any sample images, the instructions are general enough to be used in many situations.
5-0 out of 5 stars Good for Reference
I loved this book but it took a lot of effort to read it.That may sound funny but the format of this book is nothing but tip after tip after tip and that can get old pretty quick.If you can stand it, read through the whole thing.Then you'll find yourself either using the tips you've learned, or like me stopping and saying to yourself, "Uh, wasn't there a tip about how to do this faster?" at which point you refer back to the book and find the quicker way to do what you were doing.
5-0 out of 5 stars Just the tips
Some Photoshop books purport to teach you how to use Adobe's flagship image editor. Others help you sharpen your skills.This one simply presents an array of useful and unusual tips, and it's hard to argue with that.The techniquews are clearly presented, and should appeal to any level of expertise.Whether you are stillattempting to scrabble up the learning curve, or are already a Photoshop veteran, you'll find something to use within the pages of this book. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars An Awesome book!
As a professional wildlife photographer I have always shied away from spending too much time correcting my images on Photoshop because a) I don't have the time and b) the books are too geeky and boring. That is until I got hold of Rob Sheppard's book. For the first time I have understood the benefits of complex tools like adjustment layers and Rob's workflow style approach has really had an effect on my workflow.
4-0 out of 5 stars Great Photoshop book for any type of photographer
Sheppard works through a series of photographs showing when, why and how to use the various Photoshop tools.Unlike most other Photoshop books, this one focuses on establishing a workflow.
2-0 out of 5 stars Jack of all trades master of none
I really wanted this book to be better. I got this book after reading an excerpt from it in Outdoor Photographer magazine.

I really enjoyed going through this book.It is laid out well and has lessons you can do to help you learn.

5-0 out of 5 stars Just what the title says.
Well organized and easy to study. Suits multiple learning styles. The CD has some excellent additional information.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good tutorial for non-database functionality
This is a well-written and easily understood intro to Visio, which does a good job of covering diagrams, flowcharts, Gantt charts, floorplans, and the like.But, it has absolutely no information on building database diagrams with Visio, for which I deducted a star. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Beautiful to look at
This is a beautiful book, with lovely pictures of Talyor's work. My only complaint is that "Master Class" is a bit misleading. Although I learned a lot about Ms Taylor, I hoped to learn a bit more of technique. I am still very glad that I purchased it, though. Her pictures are fascinating.

5-0 out of 5 stars Whata Master Class Is
Ifind the same criticism onmany of the "Master Class" photoshop books. You need to remember what a Master Class is. It is not a technique class. There are other classes/books for this.
5-0 out of 5 stars Essential for Photoshop Artists
This book is essential for Photoshop artists looking for an illustrative compendium of surrealistic color imagery one may achieve in Photoshop. The color reproductions are impeccable and each picture has background information by the artist herself. If you like Max Ernst's 100 Headless Woman you'll love this book. Her color sense and use of texture will make you really be hypnotised by her narrative creations. It can stand on its own as a picture book- as a manual you can apply yourself and delve into it even more. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Lives up to its title
It's easy to come up with seductive titles for image editing books, purporting to help you "Master" the topic or offer a "missing" manual.But when you get right down to it, most of the books just offer the same old basic information. 5-0 out of 5 stars Top of the bill !!
As a "collectionner" of the best Photoshop books on the market I must recommend this excellent book from Richard Lynch to all the digital photographers among us.Other reviewers explained the content of the book in detail so I won't do the same,I can only agree their comments! 4-0 out of 5 stars Power at a bargain price
If you are already comfortable with Elements 4, but feel a little frustrated by the lack of a number of tools of its bigger brother, this is for you. I bought it for the tools: I discovered the book is full of invaluable advice. Workflow, separations, masking... The combination of Elements 4 with the book and tools covers all my expectations for a dedicated amateur. And yes, I like shooting raw, taking advantage of 16 bits,black and white... and I have still much too learn from the book! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!!!!
This book is fabulous. I have a lot of books regarding photoshop, this one is at the top of the list. It's simply laid out, has exact description of what to put in the various dialogues, and covers a range of amazing effects which are beyond useful. If you are looking to extend your quiver of tricks & kicks - don't hesitate, you will not be dissappointed....

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book
Great book if you want to know how to create the effects that pros use everyday. There are basic turorials and there are advanced tutorials. Each and every tutorial is very easy to read, easy to follow, and easy to understand. Once you go over the tuturial a few times, you will never forget it. Kelby does a great job with the illustrations and the step-by-step process to accomplish the final result. I recommend this book to both beginners professionals.

4-0 out of 5 stars Nice how-to

3-0 out of 5 stars Another too much and too little guide book.
As is usual with books purporting to enlighten you on the use of software, this book covers a great many subjects. The problem is, there is not enough depth on any of the subjects to help much if you are already a user of the program. If you have a detailed question, the likelihood is you will not find the exact subject addressed or if it is, the coverage is perfunctory. For example, the material on Gantt charts is less detailed than you will find in the help menu, so why bother with the book? If you have advanced far enough on your own to ask this type of question, chances are you won't find the answer either place.
5-0 out of 5 stars This book was written for a programmer.
I am a programmer myself who didn't paid too much attention to MS Visio previous to my encounter with this book. Like the previous poster, I can "wink" my way through Visio for a fairly decent drawings, part of the reason for this is because I have worked with programs like Corel, Photoshop, video editing programs, Dream Weaver, Flash, etc, where I had to worked with various drawing tools, layers, rulers, zoom etc. Then suddenly I was offered a nice job with a well known IT company, and the position requires me to use MS Visio extensively.
5-0 out of 5 stars Boy, this sure opened my eyes!
I just had my eyes opened to all that Visio can do by reviewing the book Visio 2003 Bible by Bonnie Biafore (Wiley).

Tired of the usual "Blah, Blah, Blah" in computer books? FINALLY - somone is listening to the needs of graphics professionals and students wanting to learn tips and tricks for doing these effects and animations! Foster not only shows you HOW to do these techniques, but more importantly, WHY! I have found this book indespensible in my advancement way beyond the basic tools and functional training of other After Effects books. If you want to learn animation or do any kind of special effects on your own, then get this book NOW!

5-0 out of 5 stars extremely useful
have bought many books on after effect and photoshop.
3-0 out of 5 stars Not for the complete beginner...
I have to say that you MUST need a solid undertanding or at least the basics of After Effects before getting this book.Also, there are not many figures to ilustrate the projects in an easy way.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Beginners
Photoshop CS2 Workflow: The Digital Photographer's Guide is the best Photoshop primer I've ever read.The author works through image adjustments in a very logical progression.He begins with very simple edits and works his up to more complex fine tuning.The instructions are both step-by-step and very clear.He also does an excellent job of explaining the "big picture" of why you want to make these adjustments and does not just turn you into a mouse clicker following steps by rote.
4-0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, but pretty good
This wasn't exactly what I expected:There's no discussion of VersionCue, versioning and naming in general, or color managment.

I am teaching a beginning Photoshop class to adults, and bought this book to help me with my lesson plans.I have been mightily impressed.I have used Photoshop daily in my work since Photoshop 5, and am learning MANY new basic techniques that somehow have escaped my attention until now. I will not only save time, but improve my output with what I have learned from this book!His writing is very clear, and is also interesting to read.I have recommended it to my students, and am incredibly glad I found it before my teaching began! ...

If you haven't added one of Jack Davis' WOW! books to your digital art library, you should consider the latest One-Click-WOW! for Photoshop CS2. It's packed with preset styles and effects for every task you might have. What is a preset? Basically, it is a special effect or group of effects (style), such as a drop shadow, that already has the options set for you. After you install the presets from the CD, they will appear with the other presets in the Styles Palette. All you need to do is apply these ready-made presets to your image. In his WOW-Styles Tutorial which is included in the book, Davis gives you all the information you need to apply and customize the 900+ presets in Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady. He explains the mystery of using layers and clipping masks, changing the resolution, brush size and scale of the presets as well as how to customize the WOW! presets and save the changes as a new style to your own Styles Library.

a serie of examples with easy and fast results, even if not all for "dummies". Do not ask why Photoshop works but just use it!
5-0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have!
I have recently begun using Photoshop and at first just tried "feeling" my way through it.That didn't work.Then I tried using articles I found in magazines and off the internet.That was a little better but still didn't get me where I wanted to be.Then I decided to get a book to help me.On more than one photography forum this book was recommended.Now that I have it I see why.

5-0 out of 5 stars Powerful, Smart, Unparalleled
Deconstructing the Elements, 2nd edition is basically what you wish every reference book could be.The binding is strong even though it's a soft-cover and the pages are all color matte finish.Almost every step of every walk-through in this text contains an image of what you should be seeing in 3dsMax.
5-0 out of 5 stars Brilliant tutorials for creative solutions to common problems
This book is fantastic. I've read at least 12 books on 3ds Max. This is easily one of the best. The author avoids overly technical jargon and is always clear, concise and to the point. This is for intermediate level users. Having used Max for 4 years now I was impressed with all the new things I learned.Take your time, don't get frustrated and you'll get the most out of this book. If nothing else you'll learn about Particle Flow which is an amazing tool.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent intermediate to advanced tutorial
I'm 3 tutorials in and very impressed so far, especially with the methodology behind the use of materials to simulate phenomena.The included screenshots on the DVD Rom have been very useful when I miss something, and the reference material is outstanding.This is definitely for users with some experience, and is refreshingly lacking in redundant instructions, but should add a level of sophistication to any 3D artist's toolbox.

5-0 out of 5 stars Way more than just another InDesign book
I give this book five stars because:
5-0 out of 5 stars STUNNING.
I bought this book thinking that it would be a simple guide to the typographical controls within InDesign CS2. It IS that, certainly enough, but it surprised me no end by being one of the best books I have (and I have a LOT) on thinking with type, using type correctly, and how to be a better designer through type usage. Even if you DON'T have InDesign, there is a tremendous amount of knowledge to be assimilated here on the finer points of good typography. An excellent resource, worth twice its price.

5-0 out of 5 stars Typography Masters In a Book
One of the greatest educational and instructional books I've read since Indesign One on One. This book literally teaches you the good, the bad, and the ugly of typography using Indesign.

Editorial Review

Setting up a Web site ranks among the most deceptively simple tasks in all of computerdom. At the end of the day, you just edit documents (and who hasn't done that before?). Even HTML, the underlying language of Web pages, is pretty easy to understand. But once the creation process gets underway, it becomes apparent that HTML coding is tedious, and that page designers often spend hours figuring out tiny layout details. Adobe GoLive CS is meant to ease and automate the process of creating and maintaining sites, and Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Beginners
I am a technician by trade, but I am very new to the web building world.The last time I attempted to build a web page was when c-tags were in style.When I bought this book I knew almost nothing about GoLive CS.I have now completed most of the lessons in the book and I will say I was hard-pressedto find any errors.Trust me, I know error proned books (i.e.CCNA).This book is perfect for a beginner and will lead one by the hand.The lesson material on the CD uses good examples.The book is far from exhaustive, but it will get one started.There is a whole lot in GoLive that is left to explore.After reading the book I have been able to build a good sized web site with many pages, and with many different styles.

5-0 out of 5 stars Essential tool to get started with GoLive
One thing GoLive is not and that is intuitive. This book starts you off with a hands on approach and after a time it starts to make sense. I used it methodically and did not find any mistakes mentioned in the other reviews - it helps to use one's head and guess where one overlooked, or mis-understood an instruction as the program is very fiddly. Highly recommended.

3-0 out of 5 stars Overall, a good introduction to GoLive
***This review is for the Revised Edition*** (FYI, I use the Mac version) Firstly, I have completed the whole book and have NOT found it to filled with errors. There are a couple of areas (specifically I think it was 3) where I had to do a double take and make sure I was following the directions as I was supposed to. Some confusion comes in because the names of some of the palattes are very similar to the names of the work screens, so you need to pay attention if the directions say "Click on the navigation palatte" or "Click on the navigation screen." At a couple points in the tutorial, it got a bit confusing, however it was nothing I could not figure out with some careful reading. It is not a complete reference on GoLive, as I feel I just scratched the surface with the text so far. I would recomemend this book to others basically because there is no other text to learn from. However I would like a more complete exhaustive text that goes deeper into GoLive. One thing I do fault the book for is not having a brief chapter of summary actions like "To fix orphaned files...do the following.."and then list them. There is no summary page or chapter on commands, icons and what they mean. I find myself knowing what I want to do, however I have to look it up to find out detailed instructions on how to do it. Like I said, overall, not a bad book, especially because there isn't anything else out there.

5-0 out of 5 stars Taking a Simpler Step
I had worked with other editing softwares in the past so when I got Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 in the mail I was ready to start working!Then I realized this software had so much more to offer so I went to the manual and starting reading. By about the middle of it I thought I would never learn it. The manual was all over the place and didn't explain anything in human terms so I went online and found this book "for dummies" and I would seriously recommend this book to everyone.It takes the software and breaks it down in laymens terms with even sarcastic breaks for the long time reader. It was informative and witty.I use it as the Premiere bible and it sits right next to the computer the whole time I'm working. It also offers helpful hints on how to angle the camera and the proper equipment to have. It's freaking awesome and if you made it all the way to the end of this review..you have to get it. It's worth the money.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good Basics, Poor Examples
As does the entire "Dummy" series, this book takes things from a very basic level and assumes little or nothing in the way of prior knowledge. It does an excellent job of explaining concepts and giving an overview of the Premier Pro software. After that, it falls short. The examples are very general and no disk is provided for tutorials. This lack of examples and of real tutorials makes learning the software, at least for me, more difficult. There were time when I thought I was following along correctly only to later learn that was not the case. If I had real examples to which I could compare my work, I would have gotten a lot further.
4-0 out of 5 stars Mostly retread of earlier versions but still good...
I bought Adobe Premiere for Dummies for version 6.5 and was able to quickly master the basics covered in the book, then within a few months, I upgraded to Premiere Pro. I also purchased the Premiere Pro for Dummies book to get a good primer.

2-0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Disappointment
I don't know what's going on with this book.The prime difference between version 6 and version 7 is the inclusion of Adobe Lifecycle Designer.This book says virtually nothing on such an important area.It does little to address database connections.
1-0 out of 5 stars Useless for Designer Forms
I bought this specifically for information about using the new LiveCycle Designer application that comes with Acrobat Professional to create interactive PDF forms. All of the information in this book (Chapters 26-29) is wrong about that app--none of the dialog boxes match, or are even close, and the program doesn't work the way it's described. I'm guessing that Adobe changed it after the book was written.

1-0 out of 5 stars The Childrens Bible
A bible for the inexperienced with acrobat.. If you have never opened up the program, than I could see how this might be considered a bible.Just like any childrens bible is compared to a regular bible.
