Photoshop CS3 Refernce (5/5 people found this helpful)
This is an A-Z refernce guide of all the features and functions of photoshop, and a decode to the jargon and uses. It is brilliant, particularly if baought as part of Amazon's package withthe essential guide and DVD. On its own it wont teach you how to use CS3. But as an aid, reminder and refernce book, it is quite brilliant. Very comprehensive and with excellent imagery and easy to follow notes, examples and tips, it is more than just a terminology dictionary. Highly recommended.
Excellent Reference Work (24/24 people found this helpful)
I teach imaging and I find it hard to recommend books when my students ask for recommendations but Philip Andrews is one author that I feel I can recommend. The beauty of Philip's books is the guy is a teacher not a geek and that means that what he writes, even in this A-Z format, is field tested with real live students. Philip understands what problems learners face and how to get the techniques over in a way that is clear and, most importantly, understandable. What that means is that it all actually works - unlike some books which, even after 15 years of using Photoshop, have me confused after just a few pages!
This one is particularly useful if you are teaching yourself or picking up new features in CS3. If you come across a feature that is either new or new to you, a quick flip through this and you'll be using it without hours of guesswork. It's designed as a reference work so you'll get good value out of it because you'll be dipping into long after you buy it.
If you are on a course then this book will back up your teacher's program with specifics that go into more detail than any teacher can manage in a class or lecture. So it is a useful tool whether you are a complete novice or, like me, just need someone who writes about Photoshop in English when something you have never seen before crops up.
