What's wrong here? Maybe it's me but the author does not appear to know Photoshop software. Or, maybe she knows about some other version of Photoshop and is just not good at describing the processes. I suspect a combination of all these. For my part, I admit to being a 'dummy' but I would have thought that the publisher's editing would have caught most of the obvious errors, omissions, and gramatical issues.
As the reader works through the book, he should be able to duplicate the process in the software that is being described in the text. How fustrating to find that some of the author's descriptions do not work. When I got to page 217, I decided to share some of the book's problems here. That particular section (2 pages) covers replacing one color with another. In Step 4, the author writes "Choose your Sampling method" from the icons.

This book is very useful, there are others that may be better, advertised on the Adobe support forum for the product, but I haven't read them. Most important is that forum!!!!
This is complicated, non-intuitive software (see my review) but with this book and the forum you can get results. If you are new to PCs, not a power user or have no patience, take a Yoga class first. Adobe Premiere Elements 8 is powerful, but painful. You can get excellent results if you are persistent, read the book and ask for help in the forum.
Competing products are not as powerful.
I really enjoyed this book. It doesn't deserve the 1-star reviews. Photoshop is a really complex piece of software and it does have a learning curve: you have to wrap your mind around certain concepts, give it time. I use it for making graphics on web design projects. I was using GRSites for that for a long time, lots of people seem to be, but you still have to learn Photoshop like the "pros", and this book really helped get me started. Give this book a try, you'll be glad you did!
