Lots of errors, but useful for learning "trick" questions
May 21 1999
By Paul Rosenberg
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
WARNING! This book contains MANY errors about how Photoshop works. If you're looking for a good learning resource for Adobe Photoshop 5, this is a poor choice. To learn most effectively about the program you would be far better off with Peachpit Press' "Real World Photoshop" or their "Photoshop 5 for Windows and Macintosh - Visual Quickstart Guide," or Adobe Press' "Photoshop 5 Classroom In A Book."
What this book IS good for is learning about the process of taking Adobe's proficiency exam, and what kind of trick questions to look out for. It can help you to stay alert and focused on each question. For learning what you need to know to pass the exam, though, look elsewhere (and nothing beats hands-on experience).

It's a cram guide, not a Photoshop guide
Jun 25 1999

Format:Paperback
If you are studying for the Photoshop ACE exam you might as well get the official study guide from Adobe - which also gives you a discount on the exam itself - and skip this one. I saw it after taking and passing the test and it is just too full of errors. Also, it really is a "cram guide" geared specifically to passing the test, so it's not at all useful for actually learning Photoshop. For that there are many other books which are way better, such as the Classroom in a Book. Actually as most of us who have been using Photoshop to make a living know, the best way to really learn this behemouth of a program is to use it (under pressure, for hours,) daily :)

Great door-stop book!

As review books go, this one needs to be worked on some more. It isn't very helpful when there are so many inaccuracies. I finally gave up and found this book makes a better-than-average doorstop. At least it's good for something!
