The book is very well-written and easy to read. I can see the immediate impact on my pictures after reading each lesson. The author takes you straight to the important functionality (and skip the useless or less powerful features which glut the Photoshop interface). I've rarely felt so empowered just by reading a book. Kudos Deke !
One wish is that the book would give more than one example for each technique (may be as a separate exercice at the end of each chapter, to avoid disrupting the flow). Also I haven't found the videos to be that useful to watch. They seem to be more like a advertisement to entice you to buy additional video lessons.
But these are small minuses considering how much I've learned in a few hours of reading the book and doing the exercices.
Highly recommended !
