This book is just what it says it is: ADVANCED. It is not for people unfamiliar with the program who need to have every step spelled out. It is also not for those who want to turn photos into paintings with one mouse click. But for those really interested in clear instruction in complex features, and in taking their digital painting to the highest level, it is the best.
What really prevents this book from getting 5 stars is the editing. There are some moments when steps are missing and you have to figure out it out for yourself. There are other times when I could use some clarification; I find myself scanning the text over and over again at certain times. Don Seegmiller is a pretty good author though. He has a certain style to his artwork so you won't see anything wildly different chapter to chapter but thats ok.
I recommend this book if your really truely are advanced in Painter and you want to study another artist's style. This is more of a 3.5 rating to be honest.
