Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop CS3: Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks (Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks)
Book Review: Finally! A book I can learn from.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using PS for years now. However, I might as well have been using a much more basic program. I pretty much only cropped, adjusted levels, maybe messed with saturation, and used a few filters. Oh and I was a pretty good hand at removing small stuff with the clone tool, but I did all of this on the original picture. I almost never messed with those scary layers.
When I upgraded to CS3 I decided I was going to finally learn how to actually use this wonderful program. It was hard for me to admit that, in most ways that counted, I was a beginner. And then I ended up with numerous books that were either totally over my head or so huge, intimidating and boring that I could not force myself to use them.
Then I stumbled on Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks! Finally, something that was easy to follow, not boring and didn't assume I knew how to do much of anything. I'm on lesson 13 and learning faster than I ever have before. I'm also enjoying it!
I love the visual style, with just enough text to explain what you're doing. The Tips at the end of each "trick" are very helpful.
I was so pleased that I immediately ordered Teach Yourself VISUALLY - Adobe Photoshop CS3. I know some of that book will likely be a bit redundant or cover things that I already know, but I'm hoping to pick up even more info. If I had it to do over I would likely go through the Teach Yourself Visually first and then the Tips and Tricks. I believe that's how they are designed to be used, but I seem to be doing fine this way.
If you are a beginner, I can't recommend this book enough. You can get right in there and start having fun and improving your pictures with a minimum of frustration and confusion.
The only down side is that this book does not include either a CD of practice photos nor a web link to download them from. When working through tutorials I prefer to use the same shot that is being used by the author first and then go back and redo the tutorial with my own photo if I have something appropriate. However, I've found that if I didn't have an appropriate photo to practice on, I can almost always find something pretty easily via Google Images.
I would also like to recommend Photoshop Layers by Matt Kloskowski. Of the ridiculous number of books I ordered, this is the only other one I'm currently working my way through and really learning from. There are a few things that are assumed in this book, but not much and if you work through the two Visual books first I think you can avoid even that minor frustration.
