Wiley, the publisher was deceptive on the front cover of this book.:
On the front cover it says, "100% Comprehensive-Authortative" This is a lie. I was trying to find out how to use the Actions feature. Actions are missing from the book. I emailed one of the authors.

great reference; not the best for a new user:
This book is a great reference It probably does contain everything you want to know about Photoshop CS2, but I wouldn't recommend this to someone as their first book on Photoshop. PS can do so much and this book tells you about all of it. It's just too much for a first-time user. Definitely buy this for your library, but don't start your education with it.
CS2 Bible:
I know absolutely nothing about Photoshop. This is an excellent book to help in learning Photoshop. It was recommended by my professor and I trust his word. So I purchased it and I was not disappointed.
