Adobe Photoshop Cs2 Classroom in a Book by Adobe Creative Team (2005, Package)

Clear directions with examples. Great book to accompany you in your study of Adobe Photoshop. Decided it to buy it since I already purchased the Adobe CS2 software and wanted a book that will clearly explain how to use the many possibilities of this great software.

Each chapter consists of a project covering basic techniques in Photoshop. The images for the projects are contained on the CD with the book. The text is clearly written and gives basic information on how to manipulate different types of images. Special effects and Animation are briefly covered. This is a very good book for anyone new to Photoshop.

I recently bought this book and I had no idea how to use photoshop cs. As soon as I opend he book and installed the lessons that came with it, I started to use it and study, although I'm still working on it but i have learned a lot since I started using it. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn.

This is a pretty good book. I had taken a class in Adobe Illustrator and used the same type "Classroom in a book for Adobe Illustrator" for that class, so, I was somewhat familiar with the Classroom series. I have completed some of the lessons in this book. They are very easy to follow. However, I am doing these lessons on my own and not taking a formal class. I must admit that I miss the interaction of the computer classroom. I still think I will get a lot out of this book, but I would recommend it more for someone to use in a classroom when taking a class. The copy I purchased on ebay was used. The cover has a few creases and the corners of some of the pages look like the book was dropped on its edge during shipping. However, the book is still in usable condition and in overall good shape with no marks or highlighting by the previous owner and the CD was still sealed in its envelope.

I bought this book for a computer and web design I'm taking in college. I was very happy to see that the CD came with the book and that the book was in pretty good condition. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. I've played around in Photoshop for a couple years, but never had any real instruction until I took this class. This book has been very helpful in showing techniques using tools that I didn't know how to use (healing brush, patch tool, etc.) I've found the lessons to be very helpful and important for everyone using Photoshop to do; because even if you know a lot about it, this book teaches you step-by-step how to do things that you may not have known how to do. Great book, I would recommend it to anyone interested in Photoshop!

Whether you're just starting out with Adobe Photoshop, or have years of experience, as I did, this book is definitely worth reading. If you're new, the book teaches you all you need to know to get started with the world's most powerful graphics design program, and if you're an expert, you might be surprised at some of the things you've missed. Overall, highly recommended.

I had to purchase this book for a class. The book is very easy to follow. It has complete step-by-step directions. The book also shows images and graphics to show you exactly what to do. It is a little boring, as I am all ready familiar with Photoshop. However, if you have never used Photoshop I think it would be extremely helpful.

Fast shipping and book was in great condition! Thanks! I will buy from them again! Great communication about the shipping date and I recommend for any other buy!

Perfect condition just as seller said. Received in a timely fashion as well. I couldn't be more happy with this book unless it fell out of the sky brand new and came with photoshop for free and a new mac laptop.

I have supported my family for 42-years in technical publications. I'm a retired technical writer/editor/manager/publisher. I can't seem to get away from it. This publication (guideline) is written in my favorite teaching style. A technique which I call "interactive/action/reaction" style. It breaks away from the annoying technique in which the writer instructs the reader (student) in specific technical terms,jargon, and a vernacular which is common to the expert but only confuses the(unfamiliar)student. The student reader usually thinks to himself, "What did he say?" and throws the book in the trash instead of learning something.

I highly recommend the CS2 Classroom in a Book. The Adobe Creative Team has done an excellent job however; whoever wrote the title of this request used a lowercase s instead of an upper case S for Adobe Photoshop CS2. Can't seem to get away from being an editor.

Taking a class for Photoshop, been working with Photoshop for 8 years now and this book has taught me a few things I never knew. Great book for beginners.

I book this book for a class in digital imaging. It was just what I needed to help get past the frustration of learning Photoshop on my own. The only thing that I wish it provided, however, was alternative methods to find and use features used in the lessons if the user is using the CS version. Some other books do this and it is extremely helpful.

This is such a great resource for learning the basics of Photoshop. Starting with the fundamentals of navigating the workspace and manipulating the different palettes and toolbars, each lesson elevates your skill level a notch by adding more complex features, from layers to filters, text to vectors. Although it does not, by any means, cover everything the program has to offer, it does provide the user with a great skillset foundation to grow on. I found it a wonderful tool and very user friendly!

This is my textbook for a class in digital illustration that I am currently taking online, and I must say, it's a terrific book. The lessons are put together very nicely and they explain step-by-step how to accomplish the completed goal, which is great. This is probably the best book on Photoshop that I have ever read or used.

I received this book very quickly and it was priced at the best I could find; online or in person. I appreciate that they recognized that it was an older edition and did not try to gouge the price.

Fast shipping, a book in great condition and a reasonable price made this buying experience great.

Great info in this book. Fast shipping and great price. Everything seems brand new especially since the CD was included and untouched! Thanks!

As always, Adobe makes the instructions harder than they have to be, and this can be frustrating when trying to learn something new. My only regret was buying this book from the seller on eBay, but I will never make this mistake in judgement again.

Best alternative: purchase a one-month subscription to www.lynda.com -- everything is presented in an easy-to-understand format that is hands-on and clear in its presentation. Hundreds of video titles are free to try -- why go anywhere else?

This has been the best book I have used to learn photoshop CS2 techniques. It is especially useful to photographers as opposed to graphic artists.

This material is extremely helpful in learning to work with Photoshop. It is straight forward and easy to follow. I would recommend it to anyone trying to learn Photoshop.

this is a book really interesting because you can learn the head start of knowledge for photo shop user... :)

I paid and did not get the item.
I claimed the case, but no answer from ebay and seller.
What should I do and where can I get refund?

Until now it's been about a month since the transaction was made and I still haven't received IT! I needed the textbook as soon as possible for a college course that I was taking, I thought this would be the most efficient and cheapest way of acquiring it, but boy was I wrong!

This is a great book for novices. After the basics in the first chapter, the author invites the reader to either continue chapter at a time, or simply jump to the chapter which appeals to the reader's interest. There is a lot of flexibility in learning from this book. The only negative which I see is that "layers" is not discussed in the first chapter, but later in the book. BUT, there is a complete chapter early in the book which is devoted to "layers. I bought this book because it is listed as one of the most popular PS cs2 books. I have not been disappointed.

Great deal!!! The seller was very intersted in the proper delivery of the book. This is a very good indication of a respondsable person.

Thanks!
