Indispensable Information
As a photographer, I am always looking for ways to advance my art. This “guide” has become indispensable to me!

Some Handy Ideas
It has a ton of different ideas. Anyone who reads this is bound to find something in side they want to try. Some Ideas are very simple and dont have much to them, but others are nicely done and make you think how they would look when applied to your own work.

Lots of self promotion for the artist, not much …
Lots of self promotion for the artist, not much specific how tos for us learning guys. I had wanted more specifics. How did he get those colors on those layers? Go to layer, mask, color or whatever, that kind of stuff was what I was looking for.

Amateur?
Maybe an amateur would enjoy the book? As a fine art photographer I thought I would learn some cool new techniques and was really looking forward to the print making. The images she uses are horrible, like she did a search on Google for the worst images she could find. The finals looked awful and the entire process of her work is scattered. It looks like she made a book to make a quick buck. Maybe someone who has never used Photoshop would learn something. I was horribly disappointed.

Not for advanced skill levels
This book is very amature. Maybe people who’s design skills are at the beginning stages will like this, but for advanced skill levels you should pass on this. I flipped through this book and felt like I needed to to correct a lot of things that were wrong, or could have been done better.

I have grown to love this book because I have grown technically and artistically. When I bought it two years ago, I was frustrated by it. However now I’ve grown to feel at home with Photoshop (and other Adobe creative products), I returned to the book, and I love it. It is not for photographers other than those who use their photos as a means to an non-literal expressive end. That is what I’ve become but I needed to learn how to “loosen up” expressively and how to convert the digital platform so that it functions as a digital artistic studio. This is exactly what this book demonstrates and teaches. I have a an Adobe Creative Cloud “All Apps” subscription, so my version of Photoshop is always today’s version, and this 2012 book is inadvertently providing extra tuition; that of adaptation; of adapting and improvising. In the process, I learn even more about my current Photoshop version. AND, for me very importantly, I learn that the transition from literal to artistic expression involves loosening personally up so as to not need technically perfect mimicry. Thank you, Ms. Sylvie Covey.

I found this book very frustrating. It was written for Photoshop CS4 and I have CS5 and CC. Unfortunately there have been so many changes to brushes in these later versions that one cannot follow from the book. For example, I couldn’t do the very first exercise because the proposed Pastel Medium Tip brush no longer exists or is now called something different. As a result, the dialogue about how to set up the brush doesn’t work on the alternatives that I find.I can’t be sure the book is even accurate for CS4. Tutorial #3 on the Artist History Brush is impossible with any History Brush — they aren’t intended to work in the way illustrated in the text — on a new layer in a non-destructive manner. History brushes work only on the same layer as for the snapshot and permanently alter the layer.There are thousands of brushes in Photoshop and zillions of options for tweaking them. A good book should cut to the chase and say: “If you want to do XYZ then look at brushes ABC” — but that isn’t this book.I would normally persevere with complexity if I liked the end result enough. However I could not get very excited about most of the examples in the book, so I wish I could get my money back.

If you are a photographer and want to use PS to create an artistic look, then this works.Borrowed from the library and quickly discovered it was one of those that will be needed for long periods if it is to be truly useful.Library is the best way to decide if you want to add it to your collection.
