Unless it’s free.....

Unless you get this book free don’t waste your money. The "author" frequently omits critical instructions. She assumes that you already know how to do certain applications. Hey Lynette honey: If I knew how to do it, I wouldn’t have purchased your crappy little book. Use free online resources instead.

must have for starters

I HAVE A LOT OF BOOKS ON PHOTOSHOP,IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A BOOK TO HELP YOU GET STARTED THEN THIS IS FOR YOU....ITS REALLY GOOD!I WOULD RECOMMEND IT ALONGSIDE PHOTOSHOP CS FOR DUMMIES OR THE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
BY MICHELLE PERKINS AS THESE BOOKS ARE VERY HELPFULL IN UNDERSTANDING THE TOOLS AND OPTIONS BAR..

Great product

I bought this product about a week ago. Im somewhat familiar with photoshop cs2, but know-where near an expert. This book opened my eyes to all type of creative ideas. The tricks that are in this book are easy to follow, thanks to the step by step tutorial. The tricks that I thought i knew, thanks to this this book i found easier ways to complete a project with less time. If you are a beginner I strongly suggest this book. If you are an intermeidate I strongly suggest this book.

The only thing i wish is that they were actaully 100 tricks. Few tricks are your computer settings. A few other tricks are plug-ins, you must have plug-ins to complete about 5 or so tricks. This is nothing to worry about, because this book compensates for that.

You can not beat the price for this book! GREAT BUY

CS2 Tips

This book is easy to follow. The step by step illustrated instructions are easy to follow. Great book!

Great Book

This is a wonderful book for those of us that learn by SEEING rather than just reading words on a page. Each project takes you step by step from start to finish. You see every screen. Listed in oder, it is easy to follow. Excellent for those of us "cyber challenged" users.

top 100 tips and tricks

I absolutely love this book!! It is easy to follow and shows some terrific tips. If you’re looking for a book to make some Photoshop CS2 editing easy go for this book. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars for what information I’m looking for.

Easy to Follow

I gave this book only four stars as it was a little to basic for me. This was the only reason!

There is lots of valuable information and it is very easy to follow the instructions to get the desired results/effects. Some things I had already learned either on my own, from another book, or from a two day Photoshop CS2 class I took.

Would recommend to beginners or maybe beginner/intermediate looking to expand with fast tips.

I bought "Hacking Photoshop CS2" use off of Ebay, Amazon has them new, but this book really paid for itself just in the first chapter of tweaking the Photoshop preferences, etc. Starts up noticiably faster on my laptop now! Would recommend that book highly for intermediates and up.

Photoshop CS2 tips and tricks are great

This book is very clear and easy to follow. If you need step by step this book is for you. I have found it had increased my knowledge of the software greatly.

very very good

I would say that this is written for an advanced beginner in that you should be comfortable with the tools and getting around the menus. I have only been working with digital photography for a year and a half and installed photoshop cs2 about 8 months ago..This book will help you so much if you just complete the excercises (examples) starting at the beginnning..It’s loaded with tips for the beginner.. I highly recommend it...

Great Book!

I am not one to leave a review but this book was so easy to read and follow that I have to let everyone know. Great tips, easy to follow with color pages and images....I just love it!

Photoshop CS2 FUN!

I learned a lot with this book. Exremely easy to follow instructions, and great tips!

An excellent resource

I purchased this book soon after I acquired a "beginners guide" to Photoshop CS2. Like most people, I wanted to apply some PS techniques to my images straight away. The "Top 100" tricks includes the majority of techniques I require and actually helps to understand the theory of the more formal beginners guide. This book does not assume that the reader knows all the terms and tools and by following the very clearly illustrated step by step instructions, even newbies to PS can achieve startling results. I’ve scouted round bookshops looking at the numerous PS CS2 publications - this is as good as any and better than most.

Excellent addition!

As a high school digital photography teacher I have found this book an excellent addition to my photoshop book collection. It is very easy for anyone to follow and we have great use from the five copies I purchased.

A Constant Reference

I am regularly using Photoshop and am regularly referencing this book on technique. It’s easy to use, easy to find what you want to do, easy to follow! I hate reading through loads of text to get a result, this books gets me straight there. There are a few more complex/creative techniques it does not go into, for which I then refer to "Secrets of the Digital Darkroom" by Peter Cope (which I also love) - but this is always my first point of reference due to it’s simplicity to follow.

From a relative beginner

Great picture displays, easy to understand, see how its done, a must-have book, especially for new learners to photoshop.

Exceptional Learning Tool

Find exactly what you need to do in Photoshop and follow the easy illustrated steps. There is no need to read the book, got a difficult project, look it up and it is finished in no time at all. This book contains tips & tricks used by Photoshop Pros worldwide.

I purchased three of these books (for myself and two friends). Lynette Kent has an easy to follow writing style. I look forward to new books by her.

So clear and helpful!

I love the creative projects in this book. Not only are
they clear and easy to replicate, they are really worth
trying out. Thank you for showing me how to create a
watercolor in Photoshop.

Another great addition to my Photoshop Books

Lynette has done a great job digging out some of the most hard to find tips and tricks to help me with Photoshop CS2. There are so many Photoshop books out there, but Lynette’s easy to understand, yet powerful tips have already helped me in things I do with Photoshop everyday. I recommend this book to all Photoshop users.

Secrets We Don’t Want People to Know About

As a Photoshop User and Printmaker, this book gives away a lot of secrets that most photographers do not want the general public to know. Three quick examples come to mind. # 80 - Paint a Digital Watercolor, # 85 - Give a Photo an Artistic Edge, and #89 - Make a Photo Look Like a Gallery Print. Luckily, I have told my clients that I created these effects with the computer. I can sleep at night knowing that my clients were aware of this. Woe to the photographer who charged an outrageous fee and did not tell his client that these were relatively easy to perform with Photoshop. I also learned how to create a very cool shadow with # 69. Thanks, Lynette!
