REVIEW (Michele Lorenzini)

rate: (5/5) = a good Photoshop usage tutorial

like: complete, clear examples, rich of included media on DVD

dislike: sometimes difficult or tedious when read without doing the excercies on the computer

funny: some funny examples and stories in the excercises

comment:
A good tutorial for learning Photoshop CS3 and digital imaging retouch, Except of some newly added functionalities, can be useful also with older versions in the CS series or for digital imaging in general.
Structured in step-by-step lessons, gives his best if used in conjunction with Photoshop on the PC (or Mac) using the included files (the same described on the book).
The DVD also brings the author's shortcut configuration file, and almost 3 hours of video lessons.
Covers all the digital imaging workflow (including some notions about Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW) form the basic editing actions to some more advanced filters and printing.
Same arguments are coveder in almost 3 housr of video lessons included in the DVD, and some "bonus" are offered to give also extra contents online.
Following the lessons, well suited on practical and sometimes funny examples, you will discover some useful "tips and tricks" about the many operations, filters and options in Photoshop.
Sometimes a little trust in the steps described is required (as "put 235 here, set this to 75%, check this on, check that off and so on) so in some complex exercises it may be difficult to understand everithing.
