Photoshop CS3 Bible ReviewMy 3 star rate for this book is an average of the 4 points I found interesting. I will write a brief explanation of each of the 4 points and will mark the number of stars I think each point deserves.
Content: 5 stars
This is probably the best reference book about P CS3 on the market today. However, anyone who buys this book must have this in mind: This is a reference book, it's not a handbook, manual, nor a tutorial. Therefore you won't find many step by step examples. What you will find is a very comprehensive, easy to read (for begginers and experts), explanantion of every single menu, tool and variantion of tools that phosohop has. Probably you won't need to read the entire book or will need all the topics at once, but you will need the book from time to time to review whatever is importat for you at that particular moment.
It's amazing how deep it goes around every single topic, nothing is left behind. The book has 1,164 pages, has 20 chapters plus appendixes. The book is divided in six parts: I) welcome to photoshop; II)Painting and retouching; III) Selection, masks and filters; IV) Layers, Objects and text; V) Color and output; VI) Appendixes
Size: 4 stars
It's huge, however not heavy, probably less than a pound. Nothing you wouldn't expect for a book like this. The buyer will read it better if the book is over a table not when he is in his bed.
Presentation: 0 stars
One of the thing that impressed me the most (and I mean negatively) was the poor quality of the paper and the pictures. Yes I know this is a paperback copy, but I was never expecting that this book was going to have black and white photographs, I mean all of them but those in 16 pages. There are some chapters in which the book explains about color managment and it tells things like this (page 955) "camera Raw's Temperature slider takes an image (left) andts you to warm up (right) or cool down (bottom)", presenting 3 small (1 inch by 1.5 inchs, actual size) pictures in white and black that suposedly reflects the explanation about color temperature. Theres's no way you can tell the difference between the color temperature. Exaples like this are many.
CD: 2 stars
In the Cd you can find some pictures and some viodeo tutorials (11). The CD has some of the pictures that you can see in the book but they are not many and by all means you need more (remember the book has black and white pictures). The video tutorials are very good but impressively, you won't hear a voice explaining the video. I don't know if I am wrong but I was expecting to hear a voice explaining the video, instead of that there are only some text lines that appear from time to time explaining it.
Conclusion:
This is an excellent reference book and a must have if you work with photoshop. However if you want to learn more you probably will need to buy a manual or tutorial type book.Photoshop CS3 Bible Overview
