Teach Yourself Photoshop 4 in 14 Days Review by rucker@uconnvm.uconn.edu
Pretty good Photoshop book
A very good approach to covering the major elements of Photoshop 4. Some excellent exercises with accompanying files on a CD-ROM.
The problem I think was a rush to get the book out by a deadline. The most serious error is that the CD-ROM does not have several of the files that are illustrated in the text. In some chapters it has several more files than mentioned in the text. There are other errors an editor should have caught when the author tries to cover the program for both PC and Mac platforms. For example, a command for a Mac may actually be the one for a PC.
I called the company about the CD-ROM and was sent a new disk (free) with several additional files (not all the missing files, but a definate improvement).
In spite of these problems, I would recommend the book to novice Photoshop users. I learned a great deal!
