Excellent for Beginners

I had to purchase this book for a class (Digital Imaging), which I came to with about twenty years of Graphic Design experience already under my belt -- so to be honest, there was not a single piece of information in this book that I didn't already know. However, I can still remember fumbling with Photoshop's earlier incarnations when it was new to me (oh so many years ago), and I also remember *wishing* I had a book that could teach me the fundamentals. This is the book I wish I had back then. If you are new to Photoshop, then Exploring Photoshop CS3 will teach you all the basics and a bit more. It does it in easy language, step by step, building on what you learn as you go. By the time you've worked your way through the book, you'll be able to use Photoshop with a fair degree of skill for many purposes. Mind you, this book will NOT make a "Photoshop Master" out of you -- and if, like me, you're already very proficient with Photoshop, then you simply don't need this book because it won't teach you anything new. But for the pure Beginner, or a dabbler who isn't really all that familiar with the tools, Exploring Photoshop CS3 is an excellent choice.

worth it

This book is excellent for beginners and intermediate users,shows you all the tools and how to use them, in a step by step, simple way. This book is expensive but it is worth it. You will not be guessing your way through Photoshop CS3 if you go through this workbook.

Great Book!

If you are new to Photoshop, this book will definitely help you out. It's a basic beginners book but probably the best to start. If you work through the tutorials you'll be great by the time your done.
