The Barnes & Noble Review
If you're a registered Photoshop CS2 user, get your hands on the free public beta of Photoshop CS3. You're going to like it. This friendly, low-cost book will walk you through CS3's impressive feature enhancements, including Adobe's major improvements to both Bridge and Camera Raw.

Your guide: Ben Long, author of the excellent Getting Started with Camera Raw. Long presents Photoshop's improvements in the context of typical image workflow. You'll start by using Bridge CS3 for comparisons and selections (and discovering Photoshop's great new Quick Select feature). Next, you'll work your way through dust and spot removal, tone and color correction, compositing, effects, and finally, output.

Along the way, you'll master CS3's interface changes, and discover loads of new productivity features (our fave so far: non-destructive "Smart Filters"). Simply put, this book will give you a nice jumpstart on a sweet upgrade. Bill Camarda, from the April 2007 Read Only
