Book was a birthday present. It's very user-friendly for the amateur photographer, has tons of photographic examples of what he's explaining. I already learned some photoshop tricks from the book. He is using Photoshop Elements (whatever that is) but it also applies to regular Photoshop. Highly recommended!
This book has great tips on how to photograph and then how to edit in Photoshop. Even if you don't have a fancy camera and just want to learn how to do a better job, this book is it!
picked up some decent pointers, took some notes before i retuned it to the library. pretty good instructional book to skim. he makes things easy to understand.
