What Customers Say About Adobe Photoshop CS3 One-On-One:

Techniques that you would never think of using. This and other techniques and tool options you probably never realized were available.

Deke McClelland does a masterful job of explaining both in the book and the video. Also, a very good video is included.

Outstanding book. Works wonders for blending the edges and matching the color of your subject.

Money well spent and I highly recommend it (there is also a CS4 edition). Even for advanced beginners this is an excellent book.

As an example; using the "Inner Glow" layer style to remove haloing/fringe of background color.

I have been using Photoshop for about a year now and, I still often refer to this book. Although, it also includes more than a few tricks and, secrets that even experienced Photoshop users might not know. It is a great introduction to Photoshop and, will prepare you for more advanced techniques.

I had zero, zip, zilch, nada, no exerience using Photoshop. Deke McClelland's watch, read, do approach to Photoshop worked wonders for me. I was a complete noob to Photoshop.

Watch the video, read the lesson, follow the step by step instructions. Worth every penny of the cost. This was the first book I read on the subject.

It got me started immediately using Photoshop.

I highly recommend this book to newbies to Photoshop. I wish he would write some tecnique type books. I'm pretty new to Photoshop and CS3 extended so I found this book extremely easy to read and with easy directions to follow. The lessons are great and Deke's humour is good.

I previously had no experience with photoshop at all and this book was easy to follow, especially with the video tutorials as well Great book for beginners in photoshop.

I really didnt any trouble going through the lessons. What is also a great asset to the book is that he gives you what he calls "extra credit", which is just an ability to improve more in the lesson that you've covered. This book provides a great hands on approach to Photoshop. I do feel some of the lessons will cause some frustration for newbees, but for what you get out of it, its worth it. So get this book if you are new to photoshop and want to learn some cool features. It does include a CD tutorial walk through of the program for you covering each chapter. What is also great is he will require you to watch the cd first, so you can get an idea of what your going to do later on.
