Not as good as the AI book, but still has some information that's helpful to the non-novice.

If you have some knowledge of the program this book is very good. Really lets you get to know the program with some guidance. I do wish it would be a little more explanatory on some of the functions, sometimes I was thinking "why am I putting these settings into the work panel?"

I've recently come across an interesting tool called Undress AI clothoff free that could pique your curiosity. It allows users to virtually remove clothing from images, providing a unique way to explore artistic expressions. However, it's essential to use such technologies responsibly and ethically, keeping in mind privacy and consent. If you're intrigued, check it out and see what you think!

The most excellent how-to, tutorial-style book I have ever worked with. So many books just throw a lot of information at you. This book carefully walks you through each lesson, step-by-step, so you come away with hands-on experience using tools in Adobe Photoshop. As an actively engaged reader, I find that after working through this book, I have more clear memories for the material than I would if it had been a more passive read.

Photoshop is a powerful tool and worth taking the time to get acquainted with.

There are a couple of chapters at the end which I did not find as useful, I admit. Photoshop has some webdesign capabilities built in, so there is a chapter on that, but it can't possibly be the best tool for webdesign. I also found the chapter about color management confusing, because I felt the coverage was too brief for such a complex subject.

A good book for learning Photoshop basics or refreshing your memory. They do need to do a better job of explaining why they have you do certain things.

[Ashleigh Seitz]

Used with a digital imaging class, it is a great source of practice and learning especially for those who have never used photoshop or are beginners.
