Overpriced for an e-book with major flaws.......2006-04-02

This book is full of a lot of really good information. It is actually more like a digital photography encyclopedia. It is both a primer on digital photography and on processing digital images. I really like it except for these significant flaws:

1. The images used for the examples in Photoshop are not available for download. I've bought many books on Photoshop, but they have always included image files, either by download or on a CD, so you could work through the examples.

2. The information appears in a 600x800 resolution window. There's no way to resize it, making it difficult to read on a high resolution monitor.

3. Although Photoshop Elements 4.0 has been out for a while, this product only goes as far as version 3.

4. Fifty bucks, I think, is way high for an e-book.

As a source of good information on digital imaging and processing, this product is top notch. If they were to lower the price to $30, provide support for higher resolution monitors, update it to the current Photoshop software, and include images for the tutorials, I would give it a 5 star rating without hesitation. Until that happens, it only deserves 2 stars.
