Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book

Muy didáctico con proyectos prácticos con las fotos incluidas

Amazing book for everyone who learns PS. There were no issues with downloading the necessary files from the link provided in the book. Fast delivery, however, the book was put in a thin cardboard envelope, and it was a bit damaged, which was upsetting.

Book is ok to read but free web version of book is better to use on iPad next to computer since you can read screen shots more clearly. The printed book shows screens but difficult to read all the stuff Adobe packs on the main window. My main complaint is that the book tries to cover too much stuff and seems to try to satisfy Adobe’s cloud based apps which are often aimed at designers, rather than photographers. Also the really hard task most Classroom buyers need help with is printing using a printer, like Epson or Canon. But a lot of space is given primary focus to CMYK color profile and preparing files to send to outside lab and less than two pages to sending files to home printer. Most of the photographers I know want help using Photoshop and their printers. I think those who work in CMYK and send stuff to labs know most of the stuff in the book. I think Adobe needs to have the writers focus less on the fancy stuff and to think more on the basics and who is most likely to buy their books or how they control what’s covered in the book. I’ve worked with Photoshop since the 80s and I still need refreshers on selecting, layers, tools, etc. Photoshop is a huge system. Add on Lightroom and it’s mind boggling. The Photoshop Classroom is like taking 4 years of college in one year.

I've used this for reference rather than linear classroom study. Well written generally and side notes provide useful info and references to relevant sections in book. I've found very useful.

I was initially pleased to find an early release Adobe photoshop book. Having to get from America which was not an issue. Delivery time was as expected nice and quick. Firstly I did contact Amazon to leave delivery instructions on safe place to leave parcel which was ignored. I picked the book up to find the packaging was extremely thin plastick bag.Most books are packaged in a book box to stop the book from being damaged. I opened the thin plastic bag to find the book kind of bent. Very dissapointing. I tried to find feed back on Amazon site (Australia) but the only option i had was to leave review! I would have preferred email my concern rather than this review.at over a $100 Ibook was not impressed. Please Amazon get your act together when packaging. The book itself is extremely informative very straight forward well written. As described lessons in a book. Well worth the money. If it wasn't for Amazon I would have given 5 Stars
