I have been working my way steadily through each chapter - determined to finally improve my processing skills. When I came to two tutorials where I couldnt achieve the desired results; I sent an email which was answered by Lesa personally. She took time to go step-by-step with me until we figured out where things went wrong - sometimes that was my fault for not properly following directions; but other times it was because directions needed additional information; clarification or updating. Photoshop is constantly changing; so I imagine it is a huge job to keep current; but I find myself frustrated when I know I am following directions precisely and I am unable to replicate the results.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A MUST BUY!By Roberta BoeI am beyond satisfied with this book. I am not new to Photoshop; have been using it for the past 15 years but lately felt I was not able to keep up with so many of the improvements ( and some not so good improvements). I first came in contact with Lesa Snider while watching one of her workshops on CreativeLive; and I highly recommend you to do so; I did buy the course and have gone back to it a few times. I was happy to discover that her video persona comes alive on the pages of the book too.Her personable approach on teaching and the humor she injects in it makes it a lot of fun. Photoshop is a very powerful program and sometimes can get pretty frustrating when you miss a teeny tiny bit of information.She found just the right tone in the book to make it interesting to people that already know some Photoshop so it does not get boring and you do get to master the details well. She does go over the basics without succumbing to boredom and hold your hand thru some more nifty stuff.There are more advanced books but all in all this is a solid purchased; one you will be very happy to make. My only regret was not have done it earlier!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good book but not for absolute PS beginnersBy Physioz (Sports Physio - Australia)This is an excellent; detailed book; but as somebody said earlier; its not really for absolute beginners. Although familiar with Lightroom; I am a complete newbie to Photoshop and found that some of the explanations assumed that you knew the (intermediate) required steps. After a lot of searching I found out how to do things but this was not what I was looking for. I will definitely keep this book as I can see that once you have some basic familiarity with Photoshop that it will be excellent as a learning aid and aide-memoir.
