Photoshop CC has a completely different look than previous versions and has many more menus and options. If any app cries out for the "missing manual," this is the one. Experienced Photoshop users can quickly find most of the familiar tools and settings, but it would be almost impossible to figure out how to utilize the full power of the CC on one's own. I learned almost everything I know about Photoshop from my 10-year old, dog-eared copy of "Photoshop 6 for Dummies," and so I assumed that this book would provide the same kind of help. Wrong! Deke McClelland, the author of the old manual, was a lively and opinionated writer who could steer you through the maze of tools and menus by pointing out which were essential and which were repetitious or of little practical use. The CC manual, on the other hand, is a sleep-inducing compilation that adds little or nothing to what is available for free from Adobe's help file and online tutorials. There's not one opinion in this manual nor any other indication that the author has actually USED CC for work or pleasure. I suspect that when the Wiley Corporation,a giant publisher of technical books, acquired the "Dummies" brand they replaced the editors and writers who gave the books their distinctive character, I'm sure that they will find their way to innovative publishers. I just hope it will happen soon.

i bought this book when i bought photoshop cc thinking that it would teach me how to use the product. what this book does is elaborately tell you what photoshop can do without actually telling you how to do anything. i read the first 5 chapters and couldn't even begin to work with my photos. i gave up after that. if you want a tome of nearly useless facts, this is the book for you. But if you want to work on your photos, don't be a dummy and buy something else. In all fairness, the author states that this dummies book is a "reference" volume -but do you really need a dictionary when all you want to know is how to fashion a basic sentence?
