Photoshop CS3 for photographers - By: Ady Williams, 24 Oct 2008 
This is quite a big book, & comes with a very informative DVD. It goes into a lot of detail & this sometimes makes it hard reading, it probably best to not try & read it "cover to cover", but rather use it like I do as a "reference" book. Some excellent techniques are shown, & the book is very well laid out & it is normally easy to find the information you require.
The Next Level - By: Art + Commerce, 18 Sep 2008 A Professional photographer shares his knowledge with honesty & clarity. I recommend this book 100 % for digital photographers of all levels.
Simple to understand, so you can learn with dexterity.
Excellent resource - By: T. J. Howarth, 10 Aug 2008 As a graphic designer & an amateur photographer, I find this book one of my most useful resources. If I'm looking learn a new technique or improve an old one this is the first place I turn to for help. The way the book is written allows me to either see quickly how to do something or, goin to some real depth. This is the third of Martin Evenings books I own & all of them have proved invaluable, & now doubt once CS4 is available, Martins book (which I'm sure will appear), will be where I go to learn new skills & techniques.
Deeeeeeelighted - By: Handygrandad, 04 Aug 2008 In a moment of extravagance I bought both Scott Kelby's & Martin Evening's books on Photoshop CS3. I have since sold the Scott Kelby book after giving up halfway through ! If you want to make friends with a needy, middle aged man, then his is the book for you. I just got sick of the corny jokes & the lack of focus. In contrast Martin Evening's book is up to his usual high standard. It's beautifully organised & has a clear focus on each aspect of the programin turn.
Easily the best, and not only for professional Editors - By: Manples, 10 Jul 2008 I am finding this CS3 guide extremely helpful. I'm not a professional photographer, but working with graphics from camera to finished publicationsin the charity sector made a clear & concise guide to CS3 essential when I upgraded. I won't need all of the chapters but those which do relate my needs provide expert advice with a clarity & precision that is often lackingin user guides of this kind. The DVD which comes with the book is an absolute bonus & really accelerates the learning process. The photo samples provided support the explanations of new CS3 features admirably & many of the images are simply stunning. I also like the author's detached frankness when explaining occasional CS3 features which disappoint. I am similarly reassured by the same, detached comments when the writer draws attention to competing products.
An excellent guide. I just wish I'd purchased it from Amazon on line & saved myself ten quid!
