Do you struggle with using Photoshop?Adobe Photoshop CC is a powerful and complex editing tool. It’s also growing alarmingly as Adobe regularly adds new features. This is wonderful news if you are already a Photoshop expert, but not if you are new or struggling to understand how to use it.
The good news is that you can safely ignore about 80% of its features. Instead, you should concentrate on learning the 20% of features that really matter.
In this expanded and updated 3rd edition, I explain the 20% of Photoshop features you need to know for editing photography. Not only that, but I’ll also help you to understand how they fit together into a complete editing framework. And because this is a book about photo editing, written specifically for photographers, it leaves out a lot of irrelevant information that you often find padding out other books.
The book is presented in two sections:The first section will help you understand the Photoshop editing environment quickly, allowing you to feel comfortable using the most important tools. This section also provides a foundation for you to build on in the second section.Then, in the second section, we look at the essential tools and techniques you need to use Photoshop effectively.The tools and techniques in this book are structured to help you learn how to use Photoshop quickly. This is NOT a loose collection of tips or techniques that leave you wondering how to do things. This book is designed for one purpose: to help you learn Photoshop and will provide a platform to develop more advanced skills.
The book is well illustrated and packed with valuable examples and exercises to complete, aiding your learning. You can also download the example image files from my website to use on your own computer.

Good Explanations Are Included
I like the way the author explains things related to Photoshop in this book. I had read other books and watched many videos, and I got more understanding from this book than from anything else.

Excellent
This book is comprehensive and well-written. It can be a little too comprehensive and detailed for someone who is using Photoshop as a hobbyist, but the fact that it’s so thorough enables you focus on what you’re most interested in learning. As the author notes, you really need to follow the book entirely to get the full benefit from it.

Fantastic straight forward book
This book is straight to the point and easy to follow. Photoshop is presented in an understandable way. I have previously tried to find books on photoshop but they were very confusing.

Excellant book by an excellant teacher
I own several of Robin’s books. He is clear and concise, and the downloadable files from his website are a great value-add. He cares about your learning process: you, the student—and doesn’t waste your time with self-congratulatory humor like that curiously popular Kelby author does. I recommend Robin Whalley’s books for serious learning of the Adobe products. And his photographs are an added feast for the eyes. Thanks, Robin, for keeping at it!

Photoshop is immensely powerful and about as user-friendly as insurance policy terms and conditions. It can do almost anything to an image, but has an infinite number of ways to snare and frustrate those of us who just want to use it rather than become members of the cult. This book is a clear guide that leads a newcomer on a path through the maze that will suit photographers wanting to make typical adjustments to their images without being sidetracked by all the distractions.

Review of “Essential Adobe Photoshop CC – The Best Way to Learn Adobe Photoshop CC” by Robin WhalleyDear Friends,If you are primarily a photographer/photo editor and wish to edit your photos to the highest possible fine art quality, this book is for you. Whether you have used Photoshop in the past but are now a little “rusty” and need a refresher, or a complete novice, this book is ideal and it takes the fear out of learning Adobe Photoshop. The book is extremely readable, well explained, systematic, relevant, does not cut corners and explains what to do with adequate explanations and illustrations from the moment you turn on your computer until you have arrived to your satisfaction, at your ideal dream photo. The book is designed to be read linearly – in chronological order from page 1 until the end, as each chapter is built upon what was taught previously. I have found this book to be one of the best instruction books on photo editing using Photoshop and it has provided me with a solid foundation of skills with which to improve my images to a high degree. Its practical usefulness is beyond words. It is an extremely valuable resource material that will provide you with all the necessary guidance you will need. I highly recommend this book over many others.

This was a mistake for me! I need to be able to use an index to look something up and to read it! I want to be able to read it on my iPhone. I’m sure it works perfectly for some people! Doesn’t work for me!
