For novices, learning their way around Photoshop can be daunting to say the least. No technophobe, me, with limited patience for technobabble, I was able to dive right on in with Tally's hands on tutorials.



Too often, in my opinion, some of the reviews of books on software applications are written by people needing to tell/impress the world with how smart they are. The attitude is: "I can understand all this arcane junk, and you can't." As a professional newspaper photographer for many years, knowing your f-stops and your film are far more apt to lead to your photo ending up on page one than is knowing that a Nikon camera has 1,000 plus parts.



Yes, it's a beginner's book, but one I find myself going back to for reference time and again. A reader friendly introduction to Adobe's Photoshop. Highly recommended.
