Customer Reviews

Lots of wonderful creative ideas - Reviewed on 2005-08-11

If you are looking for a book that has a lot of very clever and creative ways to use Photoshop, then this is a superb book. I loved that most of the effects in the book can be created from "nothing" i.e. just using Photoshop in a lot of ingenious ways with no external images required. Start of with a blank white canvas, end up with some quite realistic sky or sea images.
I am not a novice in Photoshop, or an expert, and I learned a lot of great techniques and cool button shortcuts whilst working through the examples, which I though were very clear and easy to follow.

One would think that a publisher/author would invest in an editor to review the work before releasing it to the public. This book is a pig's breakfast.

Consider: p. 48. Step 10: Go to the Styles Palette and click on the water drop style icon [the one you made in a previous example] . . ..

What icon?

What previous example?

What is an example? I thumbed through the pages and could not find one 'example.'

Boys and girls, it goes on and on. Use your money to go see a movie and use what's left over for a trip to Hong Kong. This book was a lot of money for rubbish.

Positive point? The paper seems to be of good quality.
