Learn the Amazing Features of Photoshop

 Hector Grant | Review by Peter Bauer

As with many self-published books, this one could have used another pair of eyes

for proofreading. You’ll see “PhotoShop” and “Photoshop” on consecutive pages.

The first chapter confuses “Artboard” and “Canvas,” and the author describes the

Type tool’s I-beam icon as having “a small like” that shows the baseline. The basic

organization of the books is, well, different. After telling you in the Introduction that

Photoshop is a “good graphics editor” (only “good”?), he opens the book by having

the reader create a blank document, add text, then add a shape. Even the “Exercise”

that concludes the chapter is a bit of a mess. He instructs the reader to create a blue

cube (without having introduced 3D), add white text, and then “do this,” showing a

green circle with red text. Huh? It doesn’t get better from there. Fourteen illustrations

show an actual graphic. They all use the same graphic! n
