Very good for beginners.:
This is a perfect book if you are a beginner with Photoshop.
It is full of good images and step by step actions.
If you prefer a book for beginners and avanced users, take a look in the books by Scott Kelby.
Thorough - awesom:
This book is awesome - I just bought it (April 2008). I bought Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers a while back and swear by it - but wow - Photoshop CS2 Visual Encyclopedia is even better. It has so much more content - it is chucked full of tips and techniques in a very well organized manner. While I'm working in CS3, obviously the content and tips and techniques are still very useful and valid. I'm a professional photographer and would highly recommend this book to anyone using CS2... more info
NEVER ORDERED THIS ITEM:
I never ordered this item. I ordered DREAMWEAVER VISUAL.
YOU SENT ME TWO OF THESE PhotoShop Visuaol books and I returned them.
I called to no avail.
It is STILL on my charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone there take responsibility to straighten out problems?
"Customer Service" truly is an oxymoron.
Very pleased...:
The Adobe Photoshop CS2 Visual Encyclopedia is of a great help as a by the mac side reference look around something you forgot or heard about and are not sure how to proceed book. It is visual, for as there are many intelligences, and it goes right to the point. And, as every thing else on life, it does not tell you what the end is going to be.
