As a basic guide to Photoshop CS6, PHOTOSHOP CS6 FOR DUMMIES falls into that impractical middle ground between beginning and intermediate guide to Photoshop. Too advanced and badly organized for beginners, it likewise is not the best reference guide for highly experienced Photoshop users, because much of information contained within it is too basic. However it is most suitable for the advanced beginner-intermediate student who has already taken a beginning Photoshop course and spent at least a dozen sessions using Photoshop.
For over 15 years, I have taught 18-20 beginning Photoshop courses per year. I also have graduate degrees in education and counseling, and have done much one-on-one tutoring. As a result, am very well attuned to the processes by which students learn Photoshop. Important to the learning process is helping the students retain what they learn, and understand the thinking process that occurs in regard to determining the order of steps and the use of tools.
Users totally new to Photoshop are likely to be intimidated by Peter Bauer's approach and wonder if they need instead a book entitled PHOTOSHOP CS6 FOR ABSOLUTE DUMMIES.
From the start, Bauer refers to features - e.g. 8 and 16 bit color modes, color correction by channels - which he does not define. Indeed, he prematurely and unnecessarily mentions topics too early which are likely to overwhelm beginners who needs to process information one step at a time, and in an order which makes sense when initially editing a photo.
Bauer would have written a better book if he had begun with definitions of terms, an in-depth introduction to the Photoshop interface, and discussion of the first steps which follow opening a photo and evaluating it in regard to potential editing.
Clarity is the beauty of these "for dummies" books. You will know where to look and you will understand what you read. This book functions as a general orientation of the program, moving logically from less to more complex, and going into detail where needed (ex: what do the sliders within the dialog mean and what going in either direction will accomplish.) In that regard, it is the perfect beginning reference for those starting out with the program or needing a review.
Having said that, it is an embarrassingly obvious update of the CS5 version of the same book with an occasional icon saying "new" inserted where text about a CS6 specific change was plugged into the existing template. It is only 6 pages longer than the previous version. Considering how much has been added and changed, I find that surprising.
What this book is NOT--and what I had hoped it would be--is a guide to the new features of this edition of the program. I realized that it wouldn't be limited to that, but I had hoped for a CS6 centric book or, at least, a listing of what is new, where it is, what it does, and where to find it and, later on, some details.
You have to search through the book looking for the little balloon icon that indicates new features. Is this, necessarily, a bad thing? Maybe not. I suppose that the new features should appear in the chapter dedicated to related material. However, having the new features listed somewhere would have been a big help since there have been hundreds of changes from simple JDI tweaks to major additions, revisions, and rearrangements. I've used Photoshop since 1999, and I can't remember an upgrade that has had as massive an impact to the look and feel and functionality of the program as a whole.
