Product Description
Product Description
Photoshop is an essential, powerful, and sometimes a befuddling tool. Adobe Photoshop CS One-on-One clears the fog, taking you from graphics newbie to Photoshop warrior, under the watchful, easygoing guidance of Photoshop master Deke McClelland. This full-color book, accompanied by nearly two hours of video tutorials on CD, is an up close and personal training experience. Deke's classroom approach takes you step by step through real-world projects that help you gain Photoshop proficiency. Along the way, you'll get a good dose of graphics theory, best practices, and tips for avoiding Photoshop disasters.
This one-of-a-kind approach fills a gap in the available literature and delivers a unique learning experience.

Good job for a such a complex program,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS One-On-One (Paperback)
Before buying this book i had never used photoshop before. My primary reason for wanting to learn photoshop was for editing photos. It should be clear that although this book has lots of information on editing photos, about half of the book gets into graphic design. For someone who just wants to make their photos a little more attractive, the second half of the book was little use to me.It is a good book to let you know what photoshop is capable of. If you are looking to become a master of photoshop, this is a good start, but you have a very long way to go. It only touches the surface of the program. The lesson structure is good, but it would have been nice to have more photos included to try and edit. (...). But overall, this is still a very easy to read book.

O'Reiley Grand Slam!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS One-On-One (Paperback)
I've been entertaining Photoshop "how-to" books since the big old "Classroom In a Book" version 3 and can only say that now I'm just as excited about Photoshop as when I got that first tutorial book. I've been through a lot of them since then, and nothing has ever done as much justice to this awesome program as Adobe Photoshop CS One-on-One! Some of the things covered I knew, but the way those famliar things are unveiled are once again motivational. Not to mention the things I didn't know about. Software upgrades happen quite frequently, and at times we need upgrading as well. You owe it to yourself, if you are the least bit serious about this app, to work with it and reap the rewards for doing so.O'Reiley - (hint-hint) the one-on one series could be a good thing for numerous titles and series, I think. By series, I mean - - (for example) CSS One-on-One (beginner to intermediate), CSS One-on-One (intermediate to advanced), etc. Same thing with Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Flash etc. BUT ONLY IF - they are done with the same care, authority, and visually supportive print work, organization and attention to detail as Adobe Photoshop CS One-on-One! Anyway, that's my review, way to go Deke! I'm in love with Photoshop once again!!

Excellent...,

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop CS One-On-One (Paperback)
I'm not sure if I can add much to the positive reviews so far. This is an excellent text - do yourself a favor and read all the reviews.For me, I really appreciated the sidebars and "Pearls of Wisdom" scattered throughout the text. In these, the author gives quick insights like; why one tool works better than another or a keystroke reminder or a technical definition. This book does much more than just tell you how to do something, it also explains why your image changes when using the various tools. In other words, it goes beyond just getting you from A to B. There are a million different ways to get from A to B in Photoshop, so it's nice to learn a few new ones to add to my current Photoshop knowledge. I use Photoshop basically for two things. Fixing up photos I've taken with my digital camera or scanned in from the family archives and creating images for my personal web site. I found the chapters about highlights, midtones, and shadows and color correction invaluable, especially when trying to fix up some old color pictures of the family from '70s. =) Excellent book, visually pleasing, highly recommend.
