"As a Photoshop author, I hate picking up a book and learning things I didn't already know. But Deke's done it to me again! If you want to learn Photoshop CS2 from the ground up, look no further."
-- Scott Kelby, President, National Association of Photoshop Professionals

"The book is arranged into 12 logically ordered lessons, allowing the more experienced user to skip what it not needed and to hop ahead to new things to learn...[and] the easy to use enclosed CD makes the lessons vibrant and interesting...Of course, you won’t learn all you need to know about Photoshop in this book or any other, but the hands-on experience available in this book is just what I needed to learn."
-- Michelle LaRock, Amazon.com


"Too many of these type of books show you a lot of really cool things you
can do with Photoshop, most of them have no real practical value in the day
to day real world. However cool they are, you will probably seldom, if ever
use them. One-on-One teaches you what you really need to know to get the job
done."

Tom Vollick/Amazon


"Check out this book: Adobe Photoshop CS2 One-on-One. It comes with
training CD as well. Scott Kelby's book can get quite annoying with his
corny jokes. Martin Evening's book is too dry."
