From: Amazon Posted: Nov 17, 2007 Type: User Review A class but not a manual

I reference this book as a suggested learning tool in another review, but it is not the kind of a book I like to use. The "Classroom in a Book" volumes are exactly that - lessons done a step at a time. If you are one of those people who don't move...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 14, 2007 Type: User Review It DOES teach important fundamentals.......

Photoshop Classroom in a Book (CiaB) does teach important fundamentals. But I've discovered that working through the book on my own just didn't work well.

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 25, 2007 Type: User Review Classroom in A Book

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 20, 2007 Type: User Review New to Photoshop? Then start here

This was a required book for a Photoshop CS3 class I'm taking. It has proven to be a very good book for building a working knowledge of all the features in Photoshop CS3. If you are fairly new to Photoshop then this is a good book to have.

I should have bought this book two years ago when I started using Photoshop. I figured the help file plus hints and tips on the web would be sufficient to use this very complex piece of software. Well, suffice to say that they aren't.
