Summary: Patti Schulzes' book is the perfect book for my needs.
Comment: As a professional who earns my income using Photoshop I was looking for help learning Macromedia Freehand MX. I understood that Freehand, similar to Photoshop is NOT intuitive.
Patti Schulze wrote and organized a "how to book" that enables the reader to reach their goal--learning Freehand MX.
The book is written in an understandable style that anticapated my questions. For example; while moving a rectangle to center it on the guides on the page, I was to drag and center the rectangle by placing the X that would appear in the center of the rectangle over the proper position on the guides. My problem was there was no X in the rectangle. The very next paragraph anticipated my question and gave the answer.
The success of your goal--learning Freehand MX takes effort on the readers part but the author has successfully done his job.

Summary: I expected more from the source
Comment: Training from the source barely scratches the potential of Freehand MX, although it does a good job at getting a user up and running. Power Tips scattered throughout the book are a nice feature, but not much use to a Power User.

Since Macromedia has stopped shipping full manuals with Freehand MX, this title suffices as a manual, but not for people who are interested in the inner workings of Freehand, or even ideas on real world usage, and powerful insider tips to using Freehand effectively.

The name of the title, "Training from the source" just raises your expectations and this book leaves you expecting more.
