This book is a must for anyone who is new to Photoshop CS4. Must have!. I love the ease of reading and the simple steps provided2009-03-16 Rating 5. I would have been lost without it! . I liked the new updated pictures and some of the details, specifically the ones on the new CS4 features. Updated to CS4 but missing crucial info.. But Scott made a big mistake when he dropped some of the chapters and lessons on the editing2009-03-16 Rating 4. He dropped the Faces chapter, and with it, all the techniques photographers use frequently to edit portraits. The book concentrated more on Bridge and Camera Raw, even when this is important, it's not really Photoshop CS4 (you can use ACDSee or any camera brand software to import and review keepers and bad pics and to perform the initial corrections, but the name of the book is PHOTOSHOP CS4 BOOK . . ). And the book still lacks valuable and simple info on printing and color management on CS4. So i got a bit dissapointed with this version, because now we have to use both books at the same time and sometimes even figuring out how to do thins from CS3 here in CS4. I'd recommend the book, but you'll have to buy the CS3 one too.

Both classrooms and library reference sections strong in Adobe Photoshop will find it a very popular lend: easy to use yet packed with professional advice. . This book is fantastic. Scott Kelby has an orderly mind.. From the beginning you can see how systematic and clear the information is being presented2009-03-12 Rating 5. Logical. . that's what is needed and that's what you get. Step 1, step 2, etc. Another thing - Scott is cool - he admits it, you can be entertained and learn the new Photoshop at the same time. This is a good one. John Bressie. My first book by Scott Kelby. too fragmented and limited, . I have to admit that I know a fair bit of photoshop, so this may be the reason I did not find it particularly helpful2009-03-10 Rating 2. However, this book is not a good reference for cs4 by any stretch. the first 3rd of the book is about camera raw and bridge, then a good portion is about printing. there is very little in detail about various functions in cs4. I also do not like his style of writing. the introduction to each chapter has nothing to do with photography, or photoshop, and I too found his humor distracting, and simply not funny. I know Scott is a master of photoshop, and maybe thats why this book was so disappointing. I will be taking it in for an exchange.
