Summary: Adobe Photoshop CS4 One-on-One (Digital Media)
Comment: The author rushed to print with this book! While the basic data is accurate, the book is full of grammatical errors and omissions. I am only into Ch 5 and have found several errors. Also, the accompanying disk is missing files that are supposed to be used in the lessons. While I admire the author for his knowledge I wish that he had hired a good proof reader before publishing the book.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Exceedingly elementary
Comment: The book might be adequate for a total newbie, but anybody that has any Photoshop experience would find it a big waste of time.

Customer Rating:
Summary: CS4 or CS3 reviewed?
Comment: the biggest change in this book, compared to the previous CS3 One on One, is the cover sheet, Deke barely touched the most important changes on the CS4 version. If you have CS3 One on One, don't bother buying this one.

Summary: Adobe One-on-One CS4
Comment: I am a big fan of the Deke Adobe training books. This one is very good at providing information to the new user as well as providing tips to the more advanced user. The books are well written with very good graphics and the DVD information is very good for following along and performing the exercises.

Customer Rating:
Summary: a little confusing
Comment: this book comes with a instructional video disc which is easy to follow and keeps your attention.
In my opinion, the book loses you because it gets wordy with the examples that are much harder to follow than the ones on the video disc.
I think the examples in the book should be the same examples on the video disc.
I bought another book from a different author because i personally can't hang with this one any more.
