Photoshop cs in the classroom
Teaches the basics, if you don't have a desktop with Photoshop it won't help you much. Excellent for taking a course in college with.
Good for beginner - intermediate
Very good tutorial step by step instructions for Photoshop. I was an intermediate user, and this has solidified my practice, and answered some questions I had about best practice. Comes with CD, perfect for anyone who wants to get started or brush up on skills.
a bit disappointed
I was so looking forward to mastering this program with the help of this book/cd lessons. But there is a problem with the cd, it does not have all the same lessons on the cd as in the book??!! I am now on lesson 5 with no clue how to learn from this chapter. The lesson on the cd is not the same one used in the book under lesson 5. I guess between learning from the book/interent/and searching thur both hopefully I'll learn this. I guess there is no way to contact the author, there is more than one lesson that is messed up in the cd compared to the book. If your not use to working in photograph programs..(like me)..I would not buy this book.
Way to many problems with the cd/book.
Great book to use for Photoshop CS
Photoshop CS is a very powerful program and has tons of features. I really like the CS Classroom in a Book. With the use of the included CD the book lead me in a step by step procedure to learn about the features of Photoshop CS. The CD includes projects to work on while I am going through the tutorial lessons. At times, though, the book does assume that you know some of the ways to do some things. I, then, needed to experiment to see how it is done or where to find the feature mentioned. This is not all bad because the searching process is a good learning process. This book is a great way to learn to use Photoshop CS
A step-by-step photoshop guide
I think this is an extraordinary book for learning photoshop. I had to purchase this as my textbook for school but i would say that anyone should buy it to learn photoshop. It gives step-by-step instructions to numerous projects which are included in a cdRom in the back of the book. If you're learning CS it's the perfect learning tool.
