Review of Photoshop 6 for Mac Fast & Easy (Fast & Easy) [ILLUSTRATED] (Paperback)

I recently acquired Photoshop 6 and Dreamweaver with the intention of building my first commercial web site.I have done some design before, and am very experienced in music editing and other software programs.I initially bought the Classroom in a Book series by Adobe and was having trouble following their lines of thinking.This book, although not as comprehensive as the Adobe, is by far better organized and presented.Not only does it follow in a logical order for someone new to the Photoshop environment, it also gives you large pictures with pointers detailing every step of the process.I am in 2 days, far more comfortable on Photoshop than I was with 4 days and the Adobe book.This book is definitely for beginners, and I am sure you will want an additional book or two to fill in the more complex processes that are available.For the price it can't be beat.
