I did not find this book very useful at all, in fact the few times I looked for specific help to problem solve, the information was either not there, or not very useful. I ended up resorting to YouTube and the internet for help.

And since the current version is 2 generations ahead, some of the information is outdated, for instance the image alignment option in the property panel has been removed from CS6.

For a very beginner, this book might be ok, but I found it unsatisfactory.

I think this one will be a sell-back.

It was a textbook for my New Media and Digital Art class at GWU
