I have the 6.0 book and its pretty much the same stuff. I bought it so I could figure out the Title Maker better. It is a very helpful book.

Easy to find the info I need and I wouldn't think of not having it around. Plus excellent for the price!

Adobe, why isn't this book included with Photoshop? 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop 3.5 and after running through Adobe's tutorial I still didn't know what I was doing. I stumbled over this book while browsing in a bookshop and purchased it. After reading and doing the work from this book I feel much more competent to work with Photoshop. The lessons were written in a language even a neophite such as myself could easily follow. Not only is do you work on a project but you are given helpful hints through out the book. This is one book I will use as both a tutorial and a reference book. I'm here today to purchase the follow up book, Advanced Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book

Editorial Review:

This book provides essential instructions and insights to users of Adobe Photoshop. It covers 13 tutorial lessons that allow the user to maximize the power and sophistication of the world's leading photo design and production tool. Includes a CD-ROM with sample lessons and projects.

The best book about Applesoft BASIC. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I read the Second Edition of the Apple II Users' Guide. This edition covers Applesoft BASIC programming and can be read easily by novices, yet is informative enough for experts. It is exhaustive; the reference guide in the back gives precise definitions of each Applesoft command. Indeed, this book is better than the official Apple documentation.

One warning: this book was published before or nearly at the same time as when ProDOS came out, and covers only Apple DOS 3.3. (Some editions may cover ProDOS, but not the one that I read.)

Great reference. 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

These books are designed to be used as a quick reference. Not a classroom in a book. I noticed another reviewer mentioned he was an advanced user and didn't find the book useful. Quite frankly, if your that advanced I really don't see why you would need a reference manual. This is excellent to have around if you forget someting and need the information quickly. I did find the Quark visual quick start to be a little more informative...

Editorial Review:

Written by two experienced computer instructors and artists, the book uses step-by-step instructions, hundreds of illustrations with detailed captions (including a four-page color section), and special tips to teach readers how to master this powerful tool.

Great book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book covers the various areas of creating key flash elements for your web pages that require actionscript. A great book for anyone who is trying to learn some of the more advanced features of Flash 5.

Editorial Review:

Looking for guide to Macromedia Flash that goes beyond the basics? You're not alone. This popular software has generated an enormous demand for advanced Flash titles, but most third-party books offer limited instruction in Action Scripting and Movie Clips--essential functions for complex Flash interactivity.

Well, look no further than Flash 5 Advanced for Windows & Macintosh: Visual QuickPro Guide. This is not your typical cookbook-style guide with examples for users to copy. Instead, this thorough reference covers the advanced features and techniques of Flash, and demonstrates ways to approach animation and interactivity, encouraging you to "think" in Flash. The book covers five main topics: advanced animation, understanding ActionScript, navigation, transforming graphics and sound, and working with information, and uses the same task-based, visual reference format of the Visual QuickStart Guide series.

The book is full of updated material on using Photoshop effectively for Web images, and also covers the higher-end changes in Photoshop 5.5: improved color management, editable PostScript type layers, the new History palette and brush, 16-bit channel support, and other new palettes, actions, and tools.

not for beginners 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book has some good step by step instruction, but you must know the program to take advantage of these instructions. I also felt the book was somewhat misleading as far as the types of tutorials the author was going to present. The pictures and artwork are awesome, but the instructions only pertained to one element of the artwork. I thought more of how to create these images would have been in this book. Also, poor editing, as some of the instructions did not match the images. Although I felt a little cheated, I was able to put some of the information to use.

well detailed 5 out of 5 stars.
