Photoshop 6 Essentials
The book give me the information I'm looking for and I can use it as a reference guide.
Another Great Photoshop book!
This book is well written and entertaining while also teaching you all the little things you need to know about using Photoshop. I also have Look and Learn Photoshop 6 and the Photoshop 6 Bible, all by the same author, and all are great books for learning to use Photoshop!!! I highly recommend them all!!
Photo Shop
I love the dummie books. They explain things in English so you can understand it. The illstrations are great. It's a step by step to learning things for us "Dummies" when it comes to PC programs. I hope they continue to publish these kind of books. Highly recommended.
Photoshop 6 for Dummies
Although this book can be quite useful for basics, it is too laden down with useless titbits. Also, a lot of important stuff is hidden between these, so it can be very easy to become frustrated. The book is presented well, slightly too much light humour but it does at least presume that you (like I did) have no experience. Practice will make you a much better photoshop user than reading this book, but combining this with thousands of F1 searches will set you well on your way.
Dry, Dry, and still more Dry
I'd rather eat the pages of this book for lunch and swallow them without a glass of water than read any further from this bone-dry book. I found the humor in the book more iritating than helpful, and the expanse of long drawn-out paragraphs with very few visual aids proved this to be the worst Photoshop book I've laid my hands on.I strongly reccomend the Photoshop WOW! series, as well as Down and Dirty Tricks.... great for beginners who would appreciate tons of full-color visual tutorials and examples. Glass of drinking water optional :)
