"You'll be up & running in no-time" (seriously)
Very good resource for learning the ins-&-outs of Photoshop. Nothing in the book was a "serious waste of time", which I find in a lot of books. You'll pick-up a great deal, but still there's even more to learn. Displacement maps & all those other tidbits are left out, but thats why Colin Smith, Kelby, Monroe, & other gurus, come out with the books they do. As for those other reviewers who says its not for beginners, thats nonsense. If you not sitting in front of Photoshop practicing then perhaps the newly aqquainted will get lost. One last note, Photoshop 7 is out now, I've toyed with it and used it, and this book for 6 is still just as good. In 7, theres a filebrowser, a cool new brush engine, and some [crummy]new tools in the toolbox that you'll never use. :)

NOT !! for beginners
I just got this book and have been trying to read for the last few days. It's dry as toast, and goes into very little detail on how things are done. It will start a new subject and not even gin an explanation as to what it is. Magic wand;, just tell you how to use it, not what it's used for, no examples of what an image looks like before you use it, with another one after so one can see the difference. This is the first review I wrote, but I just had to get the word out. If you're a beginner you need something else, so my quest goes on.

Book Level: Intermediate!
It is the first Photoshop book that I bought. It confused me a lot. There is no learning guide in this book. After I read a true beginner level book, I found it quite useful as a "How-To" book.
