Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Classroom in a Book
Book Review: One Excellent Tutorial
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually have trouble finding books that satisfy me when it comes to learning from them. I found this not to be the case with Classroom in a Book. I found it to be just what I was needing to say the least. This book takes you from no Knowledge to quite a bit of knowledge in no time. It has very good lesson files which are located on a disk to be used while you go through this book. I have learned so much thanks to the way the book is designed. If you are like me and need to actually do the work to be able to retain what it is you are trying to learn than this is the book for you. I wish all books, designed to teach, were as well thought out as this one is. Thank You so much Adobe. When you think about it,It just makes sense to use a learning book that has been created by the author of the software itself. You will not be dissapointed in what I consider to be a great tool in and of itself, ( Adobe Photoshop CS4 - Classroom in a Book). One of the GREATS!!!!!Book Review: Photoshop Classroom in a Book

I have been a big fan of Adobe products since they first came out. This book series has been around for almost every program and every upgrade they have released, so the folks at Adobe know how to best showcase the awesome power of their programs in a concise, class room type instruction manual.
The teachings are straightforward and easy to follow for the beginner, with tips and extras for the more advanced student. The lessons are broken down into easy-to-manage sections, and one can go through them in order or just go to the section that they need immediate help in. Many Colleges actually use this series as their text books for photoshop and digital manipulation classes.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn Photoshop and quickly get up to speed in Photoshop CS4. And for those who want to take it a step farther, Adobe offers professional certification in most of their programs.
Book Review: Classroom In A Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this book with my cs4 software knowing that the Photoshop team who put this book together always know how to get accross to even the most struggling student, which refers to me quite well. The book comes with a disc containing the lessons you should use to follow along while learning how to use every tool Photoshop CS4 has to offer. I'm so glad I purchased this book. I take a lesson at a time in the evenings. I find it helpful to repeat a lesson as soon as I finish to make sure the information I learned comes easier as the instructions progress. The instructors made it so you're using previously learned tools and methods in each lesson. This makes it easier to remember what you've learned.Book Review: Good starting point
Summary: 5 Stars
I was able to complete most of the exercises in this book. The directions sometimes were different than on my mac. In the margins, there is additional info, and that cleared up many things. I liked how the book teaches us to use Adobe Bridge to organize photos! Very handy! I love all the things this book teaches you! I used it for a college class. There are lesson files with images to to the exercises on the computer. All you need it a CD ROM player. There are extra credit exercises and quizzes in this book. There is some photo retouching, though Photoshop does much more. Some 3D is in a later chapter. I do not believe I can do this as I am on a Mac.Book Review: Classroom in a Book: Excellent Book for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
This book arrived in outstanding condition. As for the content, it was worth the money. It takes the beginner through the basics of CS4 step-by-step using the supplied CD with lessons. Learning from this book, I am able to use CS4 and even some of the advanced features of the software. This publication was exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend this book if you need to start learning CS4. As with anything, the more time you put into learning CS4 using the lessons, the more you will benefit. If you are looking for a "quick-down-and-dirty-method" using shortcuts to learn CS4, then this is not the book for you.
