A BIG HELP IF YOU ARE LOST IN THE HELP MENU OR INSTRUCTION AT SCHOOLby RatPackFan

November 15, 2009: This book was bought before I ventured into my class in Web Design. Little did I know how helpful it was going to be to me. It actually saves me much time when I am trying to remember how to do layers, copying from one image into another, and other tricky pieces of the Photoshop game. Somehow I think Adobe could take lessons from Peter Bauer and come up with a radically different way of writing instructions for the users to follow. The funny part is: my instructor talks so fast that the book is a necessary accompaniment to the text book produced by the Digital Classroom folk! yet she looked at this book and said they should adopt it for the class at my school! I knew then I had done right by purchasing it. I also highly recommend the one for Dreamweaver CS4 as well as Illustrator CS4 and any other application in the CS4 suite. You cannot go wrong with simple plain English as well as the author insights of the Dummies Series books.
