Summary: A Good Place to Start
Comment: Adobe is used to having a lot of books written on its products. They tend to be the most complex of any program on the market, but it is because they are so powerful. If you have got the Photoshop bug and can't make pretty changes to your pictures or projects, this is a good book to start with!!!
Yes it will not teach you a lot of the "Why???" of Photoshop, that can take some years to learn anyway. A lot of Photoshop books come it two groups, those that know Photoshop and those who don't. Most of those that are for the expert expect you to know your Gaussian Blur from your Unsharp Mask and what kind of effect it will have on your picture. Photoshop "cookbooks" as some have called them teach by example, this author's "recipe's" are easy to follow and will give hints in the margins to learn more indepth or customize. Again you might be mimicing the author, but sometimes that is all you need to feel good about your investment in Photoshop. The CS (PS 8) book was a complete rewrite from the Photoshop 7 book, I own both because both have a lot to offer that was different enough to almost consider them volumes 1 & 2. Also if you are just needing digital photographry help, I would check out Scott Kelby's books on just digital photographry.

Summary: The Ultimate Photoshop 7 Reference
Comment: Only oldtimers (not necessarily as old as me but older nonetheless) remember that Adobe did not create Photoshop. It bought Photoshop's parent company (Aldus) and the market. Not all of us feel that was a good thing because Adobe is, at best, quirky in its terminology and interfaces. Which is why so many of Photoshop users spend more on plug-ins than on Photoshop itself.
Enter Scott Kelly and his latest book Photoshop 7 Down and Dirty. If I'd known before what I know post-Kelly, I could have done vastly better work in a fraction of the time and for pennies instead of dollars.
Kelly is a brilliant communicator. His words are perfectly chosen for effectiveness and humor. Every step in each of the numerous projects is illustrated by what is seen on the screen. Even better, his projects are all useful and inspiring. The next time you see a stunning graphic and wonder "how did they do that?" start with Kelly's book.
I'm considering dumping the dozens of other Photoshop books in my collection and keeping just this one and Learning Photoshop Visually.

Summary: If you are a Design Teacher, buy it NOW!
Comment: A must have for any Photoshop/Design teacher. The tutorials of this book is impressively simple yet with breath-taking results. My students simply love to try out all of the possibilites this book offers while practicing the tools and effects that Photoshop offer us. That book revealed some features of Photoshop that I never used before. Easy to use, easy to learn and very straight forward content.
