MGI PhotoSuite 4 for Dummies

Rating:
Summary: A good book for a complete novice
Review: I bought this book because I have MGI PhotoSuite 4 and I wanted something to help me make the program help me verses me fighting with the program. Originally, I felt this book was too simple and did not offer true help. However, over the last several weeks I have changed my mind. I am creating my first project and have found this book to be a useful resource. The author walked me through the exact steps I needed to take to complete the various tasks of my project. This book saved me time and reduced my frustration by giving me tips and clear explanations of to create my desired results. I have more to learn about PhotoSuite and I plan on keep this book next to my mouse.

Additionally, this book would be helpful to anyone in the market to purchase his or her first digital camera. The author takes time to explain many different things about photography and digital cameras. As a complete novice, I enjoyed this learning experience

Summary: Good book for PhotoSUITE pros, great for beginners
Review: I had Photosuite 2 from the computer I got a couple of years ago, and enjoyed it, so I decided to upgrade and get PhotoSUITE 4. Ironically, I work at a bookstore and received this book the day before, and since its the only book about PhotoSUITE around, I bought it. The book is great, since I worked out a couple of the things in the program (i.e effects and framing) but not the others. The books good, but a Que Special Edition or Bible would be even better but it's good enough for me!

Summary: Reading this book may cause acne...
Review: This book is long on saccharine and short on tutorial reference. I was hoping that this book would be a definitive reference text on how to use PhotoSuite 4, but I found that the majority of the text is devoted to pap that I'm not interested in (e.g., entire chapters on, believe it or not, "Cheap gifts and chic digital accessories" or "PhotoSuite 4 for fun and profit"). The few chapters that actually deal with using the product itself are too lightweight to be much assistance. In all fairness, this book would be good for young people under age 12, ultimate computer-phobes... If you're looking for a serious product reference, skip this text.
