Disappointed, it doesn't tell you "how to".: I decided to buy this book based on the very good reviews it had. I must say that I am disappointed. The book might be very good in describing "what can be done with Photoshop" but it hardly tells you "how to do it". The "how to" part tells you only on a very high level what to do. More details is needed to make this book usefull.
