Reviews
The title says it all...the for dummies part. I've never used the Photoshop programs, instead opting for being more creative on the initial shots. But it seems all of what is now considered "professional" photography is manipulated with this sort of program. So i'm getting on the wagon. This manual is very clear & concise. I have been able to get right into effects and other tools almost immediately. Chapters are well thought out. Awsome stuff for a newbie to this software.
