Excellent handbook. It presents the information in easy pace and is easy to understand without computer by your side. It concentrates on the essentials and is excellent thing for persons that have zero knowledge in photoshop.

Clear, concise, readily understandable. It doesn't get better than this for the newby or someone who needs a refresher. Perfect!

Maybe I'm stupid, but I hate going through page after page of Adobe manuals trying to figure out how to do something quickly. This makes it easy and much easier to understand. As they say, you learn by doing--and this and all the other "Visually" books provide better understanding by showing how to do projects without all the background information and techie catchwords. A great book--

If you are looking for detailed explanation of the "mask" function, look elsewhere. Otherwise great!

Pros: the book is colorful, it has picture, step by step instructions, gives you a difficulty level of an exercise, full of tips, color coded by subject, very easy to navigate.
Cons: the only wish is that they had more tips and tricks, otherwise it is an excellent book for such complected program as CS3.

I loved this book! It's easy to read and understand for visual people who'd like an overview of PS CS3. I'm in a whole new level as far as making extractions and with layers. If you're a power PS user this book will be too basic for you.

I have never received this book from Amazon even though they have already charged the money from my account hence I need to warn about buying books on Amazon!

I'm new to the full Photoshop CS3, although I've been an enthusiastic user of all Photoshop Elements versions back to 2.0. I had never bought any of the "Teach Yourself" books before. As I wade through the intricacies of CS3, I am finding this book very helpful. There are easy step by step "how-to's" to follow, including a large section on layers. I would have liked more pages on Bridge, but overall I know I will continue to use and refer to this book often.

This product is just what I needed. It leads you through the steps in simple english. Anyone would be able to follow the instructions.

Thank you for a GREAT book

My husband loves this book. We had checked several out from the public library before purchasing and this was the one he chose to buy. It gets you into the program quickly without have to read manuals the size of phone books! It is easy to find things in and takes you step by step through how to do things. It is reasonable priced also- some were over $50.

Es un manual muy bueno me ha sorprendido, el único pero que le puedo poner es que es no profundiza demasiado.
Es lo que me esperaba

If you're a 'visual learner' you can't go wrong with the 'Teach Yourself Visually' series, which uses color screen shots and visual clips to cover all the basics - here, of Adobe Photoshop CS3. From sidebars of information and full-color screen shot demos to step-by-step explanations, this approach is the item of choice for any who need specific visuals, and competes well and pointedly with text-oriented tutorials, making it a top pick for any library catering to beginners learning Photoshop CS3.

This book has helped me learn new things about Photoshop that I didn't know in the previous versions.
