 What do you mean my book is ILLEGIBLE September 8, 2010
All access Customer (Los Angeles, CA)
Ok, so this is testament that you should buy from amazon. I ordered the book directly from Adobe with the software and when I got it, still sealed, I thought, hmmm, does Amazon have the book and they do for $20 less. Worse, it has such a low rating. So, I called Adobe to return it and the overseas line got disconnected. I waited about 40 min for a callback. So, I tried to return it on line, but it wouldn't take the ISBN in the serial number field and I couldn't leave it blank, so I called Adobe again, waited 26 min for another callback and was told by the rep that my book was IllEGIBLE for return. I asked, do you mean not eligible. No, he said it was "illegible." In fact, he said the reason was because he couldn't put in a serial number when he did the on line form. I said But, I'm keeping the very expensive software and all I want to do is return a $55 book. Nope, he said, it's not returnable. I asked why the Adobe guy selling it to me didn't disclose it. He said I couldnt return it. So, I tried the chat - same thing - can't return the book because it doesn't have a serial number like software. My fix is to challenge it on my AMEX card -- and they thought these people were as crazy as I did. In any case, I applaud the amazon prices and I wonder if this stupidity is reflected in a book that has so few stars. Isn't it a shame that we have to rely so heavily on this software maker? As for the book, yeah, right from their own mouths -- it's "illegible."

Speaking as an Adobe Certified Photoshop Instructor, I think the Photoshop CS5 book is terrific. If you don't understand workspaces, selections and layers, you will not get very far in Photoshop. This book does an excellent job of teaching the basics, and then allows you to continue on to learn masking, working with type, compositing and more. Sure, there are some areas that could use a little more explanation, but that's why we choose to use them in our online Photoshop classes. When you combine this book (or any of the Classroom in a Book titles) with an experienced instructor, there are simply no better materials out there. I've been using the series since I started teaching Photoshop version 3, and my students have always loved the exercises and given very high ratings to the books. So far, Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in a Book has been very well received by our students at Rocky Mountain Training.
 Adobe should be ashamed to put their name on this book August 28, 2010

I am an advanced photographer and have used Photoshop for years. This is the third edition of Classroom in a book for me and I was disappointed. The authors used several of the same old photos. Worse from my viewpoint is that several of the lessons were quite complex with no explanation of the reason for each of the steps. It is like a cookbook which is only useful for making the included recipes but not for learning how to cook. I think the Scott Kelby books are much more useful (and fun). Even the Martin Evening books which I don't like because the print is too small for my tired old eyes and can be rather dry are better than this effort.
Maybe a designer would find the book more useful but in my opinion Photographers should avoid it.
VERY INFORMATIVE August 22, 2010

I have been using Photoshop since 1998. I upgraded to CS4 but never had time to learn all the new features. Now I have upgraded to CS5 and I needed to get educated about all the amazing new features. I bought this book and I was going to skip over a few sections but decided not to. I am very glad i did not. I learned something from each section even the simple selecting section.
I especially love how they gave thorough descriptions of color corrections and what all the adjustments do. LOVE this book, and also bought the InDesign Classroom book. I had bought the Adobe Design Premium Suite, so I will be buying Flash, Illustrator and other Classroom books. I had gone to a B&N and looked through other books and nothing was as good as these series. AND it from ADOBE not another Author.

Students seeking an at-home course will find this a winner! August 15, 2010

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in a Book comes with a fine DVD-ROM for Windows and Mac OS filled with 2 hours of tutorials, and provides the easiest way to learn Photoshop CS5. The 'classroom' format centers around 14 lessons covering the basics of learning Photoshop and provides tips to become more productive with the program. It can be viewed in a progressive learning environment or referred to as a reference by skipping around: either way, students seeking an at-home course will find this a winner!
