Great Buy [Posted on 2008-05-19]
This is the best Photoshop book I've ever purchased. It was recommended to me by a fellow photographer. Scott Kelby is very straght forward, he shows you step by step how to do everything. He makes photoshop easy, I was overwhelmed until I read this book, I use it almost daily, I am no longer intimidated by Photoshop!

Herer I learned how to correct and inprove all my photos [Posted on 2008-06-22]
Yes, that's true!
3 years ago I was a beginner with Photoshop.
I read all the book and learned how to correct all my photos.
People use to say that I take good photos.
You can see some of my photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oscarburd/sets/1524858/ .
Hope you enjoy the book and the photos.

The Easiest Way to Learn Photoshop CS2 [Posted on 2008-07-04]
Like many of Scott Kelby's other books, this is written in plain english and teaches with such ease, I wonder why it's not included with your copy of CS2?

Scott Kelby has a way of teaching you to use this very complicated program that you'll be amazed at how fast you're editing your images like the pro's do.

My edition looks like a tattered mess due to it's use and how many times I've thumbed through it to find a solution to one of my problems.

If you own CS2, than do yourself a favor and buy this book

Covers a lot of ground...but not a good choice for beginners [Posted on 2008-08-31]
This books covers a lot of ground and is probably very useful to intermediate to advanced photoshop users and intermediate to advanced digital photographers.

But I am a beginning Photoshop user as well as a beginning digital photographer, and I feel that there is a lot of presumed Photoshop and photography knowledge that I don't have.

Hint: The introduction to the book provides a URL where you can download the photos used as examples in the book, so that you can practice the techniques on the same photos as the author.

I rated this book 3 stars as an average. For beginners this book would be 2 stars and for intermediate to advanced users this book would be 4 stars. It's probably a book beginners can grow into.

Great, easy to follow book [Posted on 2008-09-30]
I'm a just learning Photoshop, so this review is from a beginners point of view. Overall I think this is a great book. ; I like it the best compared to the other books I've briefly used.

The author walks you through easy-to-follow steps for each of his sections.

However, I'm still looking for a book that goes into the fine points of Photoshop CS2 functions, and describes each. Just one example would be to have an explanation of all the different "Modes" with-in the "Brush tool" I.e. normal, dissolve, darken, multiply, etc. What does each do, and when is the appropriate time to use each? Is there such a book?

Overall this is a great book if you want to learn great lessons for using PSCS2.
