It is a really good book on the subject; and very up to date. It covers many topics such as aesthetics; lighting; even some Photoshop areas. I have already taken Photoshop and have that book; but it does touch on it. I skipped that part to be honest as Ive had the class on it; but a few students felt they needed more material and got the actual Photoshop manual or Photoshop for Dummies. All in all though; I think this is a good book; full of good information.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

My instructor only used it for reading but not to do the assignment in which I found very inspirational. I still have this book so that I can continue to do the assignments.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy shellsbellsIt was a required by my school
