Exceptional Quality from Expert Teacher,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Do Everything with Photoshop CS (Paperback)
Colin does it yet again... Although this book at first glance appears targeted at beginners to the software, Colin steps things up a few notches by delivering sound information and quality techniques that intermediate and even advanced users of Photoshop will find useful and informative. Colin is not only an exceptional teacher of all things 'graphic', but check out his forum and website at www.photoshopcafe.com and you will find he is a heck of a nice guy to boot. 4000+ members to his forum alone can't be wrong!

This books serves as an excellent teaching tool and all around great resource for Photoshop users of any level. It's well structured, with easy to understand content.
