Summary: Must have for beginning photoshop users
Comment: This is quite possibility the best photoshop book I have ever read. Does it cover everything in great detail? No, it doesnt, but then again, that is NOT the purpose of this book. The purpose of the book is similar to a cookbook: If you want to accomplish 'A', the do steps 1-12.
After reading this book (twice) I have pitted my skills against a friend that is a professional graphics designer with 4 yrs of Photoshop experience. When it comes to correcting digital or scanned photos, not only do I finish much faster then her, the results are just as good and in some cases better.

Summary: PACKED with great tips!
Comment: When I know what I want to do, but not how to do it, just give me the facts and let me get on with it! That is what this book does...and does superbly. The organization of the book is excellent, the instructional content excellent, and the layout very effective. I have been using Photoshop casually for years, and I learned a ton of new tricks from this book. Most definitely recommended...and oh yeah, I enjoy the author's particular brand of light-hearted humor, too.

Summary: Great Reference for Digital Photographers
Comment: This book covers most of the fixes that are needed for digital photography. The fixes are easy to follow and well written.
I keep this book by my PC at all times and refer to it often.
If you use Photoshop to fix your digital photos, this book is a great help.

Summary: easy to follow examples (but the creativity is not included)
Comment: a serie of examples with easy and fast results, even if not all for "dummies". Do not ask why Photoshop works but just use it!
Very clear explanations step by step (but in some case not so easy).
Of course top results depend also from your creativity and from your feeling with the mouse (and these two are not included in the book).

Summary: A Must-Have!
Comment: I have recently begun using Photoshop and at first just tried "feeling" my way through it. That didn't work. Then I tried using articles I found in magazines and off the internet. That was a little better but still didn't get me where I wanted to be. Then I decided to get a book to help me. On more than one photography forum this book was recommended. Now that I have it I see why.
Apart from the excellent information, Scott Kelby is a very humorous, easy-to-read author. This book is so informative and easy to follow that my wife (who knows knothing about computers or digital processing software) has even begun reading it and using Photoshop.
If you are thinking about getting this book...GET IT! I definitely wound recommend this book to anybody.
