Rating: - Photoshop for Photographers Book Review
I had to purchase this book for a College course I am taking and I am absolutely amazed at the wealth of information in it.
Mr. Evening has come up with the kind of book that really helps you understand why you are doing something and then shows you how to do it. If only some College Professors were like that...
Amazing book at an amazing price.

Rating: - It's All In There
Rarely do I find a book that allows me to begin as a neophyte without feeling overwhelmed, and later provides the advanced material as I become more accomplished. This book does it all. I no longer purchase any other Photoshop books. I just get the next version of this book. Clearly written, easy to understand, fun to work with, thank you Martin Evening.
Rating: - Great cs3 book
This is a great book for photoshop CS3.This was a required book for a class and well worth it.It does a great job of giving techniques, tips, and tricks.It also does a great job of describing both Mac and PCs.This is also a great value for the price of this work, typically a good PS book is far more expensive.
