This book was recommended to me by the instructor of the beginning photoshop class that I’m taking. For someone who has NEVER used photoshop, I don’t think this is as user friendly as I needed it to be. The three stars are primarily due to the lack of foundational language that I needed to guide me through the process. I’ve found another publication that has met my CS4 needs in a way I hoped this book would have. I’m hoping that after I’ve built a solid foundation of knowledge with photoshop that I’ll be able to pick this book up again and work its magic. I would not recommend this book for the beginner unless that beginner has a strong tech background. This book seems more in line with those who have worked with the process for a while and feel quite secure with their knowledge of photoshop.
