Summary: Teach Yourself VISUALLY Photoshop CS2
Comment: Instantly, I was able to use photoshop. Get this book. It will be a quick read. It explains on one or two pages, each task you wish to perform. Once you master the material in this book, you can progress to more elaborate procedures and more technical books. The perfect beginners book.

Summary: Decent quick reference, poor for teaching yourself
Comment: If you already know how to use another photo-editing program and you're transitioning to PhotoShop, this might just be the book for you. It has a rather clever and innovative way to show exactly where on a cluttered screen the item under discussion is, and it also has some decent "quick tips". The examples are also pretty good. However, I don't see how anyone can claim to write a book that will "teach" you a software program if it doesn't give you exercises to work your way through; Photoshop is way too powerful and complex to learn without also practicing. It also doesn't explain why you might want to use any of its myriad features/effects/filters. But as I said, if you're transitioning from another program and you already know what any photo-editing program should do, this could be an excellent choice.

Summary: It's intended for normal people
Comment: This book was great for me. I am a web application developer (database and code not graphics) and all I need to know is basics and I don't want to spend hours, days, years to learn it. This book is quick and concise and gets you going without having to wade through exhaustive text. If you are a graphics artist that does photoshop all day, every day, then get a book that is intended for learning that depth of knowledge. If you are a typical person that just needs to create or edit stuff for occasional professional use or just at home, this is a great book.

Summary: Photoshop CS2 manual
Comment: Easy to read and follow, but skims the surface of the program. There is so much more to learn, so many tools and functions that it never even covers, especially some of the stuff that is new to the CS2 version like placing type on a path.
