Teach Yourself Visually Adobe Photoshop CS2 - for the bookshelf
Major Keary
 

Teach Yourself Visually Adobe Photoshop CS2 provides beginners with an easy-to-follow guide. It is in full colour and follows the visual series format of using annotated screen shots and example images to show how to perform a comprehensive range of tasks. The items are grouped together in chapters that cover like material; most items have a two page spread with text confined to concise step 1, step 2, ... instructions, and with boxed tips that add to the basic information.

The book won't turn you into a Photoshop expert, but can make you into a competent user. It covers all the Photoshop functions at a level suitable to ordinary users. There is no discussion of theoretical issues, or explanations of concepts: just the steps presented in an easy to understand format.

Even if, as a novice, you aspire to professional level knowledge of Photoshop, this title will help you develop confidence to move onto more advanced texts. Good value and worth having in libraries.
