This book/DVD instructional combo starts you off with a bang. Anticipating that some purchasers may be familiar with earlier versions, the first lesson showcases the newest features in this latest version. Accompanied by a step-by-step video from the DVD, it creates an interesting and complex image you recreate, following the first lesson's text.You begin by opening three images and combining them into a panorama. You then bring a new image into the panorama and remove a person from it. Another image is opened. That person is selected and his background hidden so it appears he's floating in air. Text is added, both vertical and horizontal. For a final touch, "waves" are sculpted from parts of the background panoramic image.All the steps to recreate this image are in the text, and that's just the first lesson! But catch your breath - beginners aren't left behind.If you are coming from an earlier version of Photoshop (or moving up from Photoshop Elements) you may well feel like diving right in. It's good to know that all the steps to (re)create that first lesson's image are given in the text, albeit in slightly different order than in the video. Even a novice can follow through and successfully complete that or any of the other projects.As an experienced Photoshop user, I really enjoyed working through some of these new features right off the bat. I think someone new to Photoshop would gain an instant feeling of confidence. Seeing the instructor work through the lesson before you start, seeing how the tools and techniques work really makes a difference.Those truly new to Photoshop may decide to actually "begin" with lesson 2. Watch the video, then work through the lesson.
