Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop CS3 One-On-One
Book Review: Not the Best Beginner Book but that's not why I bought it
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because I liked the focus on special effects for the beginner level. To learn how to fix your photos in Photoshop, get Kelby's 7-Point System, to learn what you can do once the picture is where you want it, use this book. He teaches some fun effects as well as photo touch ups. Great collection of photos in the book and on the CD. I like the video training. He has a completely different approach than other training books so it is very useful to me when I want something explained a different way to help me learn.Book Review: Good but a bit much at times
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a Photoshop newbee. I had gone through another book while waiting on this one. The book is great for new users with in depth explinations of almost every step used. At times there was little to much of Deke's personal comments which I felt was a waste of my time. I did not find the videos on the DVD all that helpful. All in all it was highly educational for me and increased my learning exponentially. I would give it 5 stars but the other book i got from Amazon, Dynamic Learning Photoshop was much more to the point.Book Review: Experienced user
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using Photoshop since version 5.0 and have taught classes to small groups for the last 4 years. One-on-One has given me some new insights, especially to the new tools that CS3 has added, but I wonder how effective the book will be to new users. Perhaps I am a bit prejudiced but new students need to go a bit slower and I would say that a slightly different approach would work better. The book would definitely be an excellent reference for classroom lessons however.Book Review: Great Way To Learn PhotoShop
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. Lessons are presented well. Deke is an excellent teacher, and he makes the lessons engaging and fun. Accompanying DVD-Rom with excercise files and introductory videos makes for an excellent approach to learning this sometimes daunting program. Book includes a free trial to the Lynda.com website where you can find a ton of additional video tutorials featuring Deke. I definitely recommend this book to both the Photoshop newbie and experience user.Book Review: Adobe CS3 One-One Tutorial Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second Photoshop tutorial by Deke Mcelland that I have purchased and well used. The first was on the CS version of Photoshop. He is easy to read and has an easy to follow format. The CS3 book is well illustrated and comes with sample photos and a very helpful "show-me" video tutorial disk. Altogether, I highly recommend the book (and the author) to anyone who is seriously interested learning PhotoShop. : - )
