WRR Review

Photoshop CS3 Visual QuickStart Guide, we feel is for beginners and people working with photshop CS3 for the first time. The information is useful and accurate, but doesn't ever really get into the more advanced topics and the one's that are brought up do not go into much detail.
overall a good book for beginners, not much use for more experienced users.
