Summary: I learned SO much!
Comment: This book is wonderful for anyone who's ever been intimidated by Photoshop and all its tools. The author lays out everything in a style everyone can understand and he doesn't get too technical with his words, although he does present techinical information and words for those who want it. The best thing about this book is that he has an exercise to go along with almost everything he writes about, which enables the reader to sit at their own PC/Mac and use Photoshop while following along with the book. He also has a "put it all together" exercise at the end of the book so you can know how to put a lot of the tools you've learned about into use together to create great art, even for the "graphically challenged" such as myself.
Rating: 4
Summary: an idiot's appreciation
Comment: Robert Stanley's book lives up to its title, in that he not only guides readers through Photoshop 5, but also provides some understanding of the basics of digital imaging, photography etc. There is even assistance in understanding some features of operating systems such as "Windows" which makes it a real boon to idiots/beginners.
What I loved about Stanley's book was that he doesn't just tell the idiot/reader how to perform a particular action, but he explains why (in terms that even an idiot like me could understand)
When I first encountered Photoshop 5 I was bamboozled by the jargon - e.g. "selections", "paths" and particularly "layers". Stanley takes his reader through each of these terms with clear explanations and practical examples. It is almost like having someone sitting by your elbow as you gradually develop your expertise in what initially seems like a daunting programme.
My only criticism of this book is that the graphics are a little small, and in black and white, which requires a bit of effort for those readers with less than perfect eyesight ! However at the price one can't complain.
I'd recommend this as both a good buy and a useful resource
