Error 1 Page 24: Under the section titled "Changing How Far Back You Can Go", step 1 states to click "Photoshop --> Preferences". There is no menu item named "Photoshop" to click on. It's actually "Edit --> Preferences". Error 2 Page 20 & 23: This is not an error, just language use. Page 20: under description of the Tools Panel, the 1st sentence reads "The most important panel in Photoshop is the one named Tools" Then on page 24, under Layers, "The Layers panel is the single most important panel in Photoshop". So which one is most important? Just kidding. Thought I'd bring that up. I'm a beginner user of PS and so far found your book to be awesome. Thanks for making it happen. Other books are too confusing for a novice like myself.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 23, under "Layers" subhead, change 1st sentence from "The Layers panel is the single most important panel in Photoshop." to read "The Layers panel is home to the single most important concept in Photoshop." Page 24, under "Changing How Far Back..." subhead, under numeral 1, change 2nd to last sentence from "On a PC, choosing Photoshop > Preferences..." this should read: "On a PC, choosing Edit > Preferences..."
