First, he means what he says: You really should have CS5 installed to do the exercises in this book. This isn’t to say you won’t get anything out of it if you don’t (and I don’t), but approximately thirty percent of the book is CS5 specific.

This is a book for beginners through intermediate users; advanced users will find this a nice gift for someone. For instance here is how the chapter descriptions read:

Chapter 1: Opening and organizing files, including the Adobe Bridge, ratings, workspaces, stacks, metadata, keywords, and the Batch Rename command.

The Photoshop CS4 Companion for Photographers contains a wealth of information about Photoshop CS4 geared toward photographers. The book covers a great deal of photo editing techniques in photoshop, and more importantly, a lot of information on using Camera RAW. As a photographer, I appreciate the attention to detail in covering Camera RAW, as it is one of the most important tools in photoshop for any photographer to learn. The book covers everything from getting the photos from your camera onto your computer to the final printing process, a lot of information indeed. And while professional photographers and photoshop gurus may not get their fill from this book, it is a wonderful resource for amateurs and intermediate users, containing techniques and information that should not be missed!
