1st sentence

In the first sentence of the preface of your book, the phrase "looking and seeing pictures" does not make sense. Did you, perhaps, mean to say "looking for and seeing pictures"?

Second Picture

The reference made to figure 1-11, however the actual second picture is in press as figure 1-21.

For Windows XP, the phrase "Photoshop Open dialogue box" should read "Photoshop Open As dialogue box"

generally in this section

The book is referring to part of the preferences pages that exist tend to go from CS2 pages to CS3 pages.
Specifically the "Enable Large Document Format (.psb) is in CS2 but not CS3. This caused a bit of
confusion until I brought up the preferences on another computer that is only running CS2 and then I
realized the proble.

figures 4-15 to 4-18

The titles of the figures 4-15 to 4-18 are wrong.

4-15 should be 'Sharpen Details'.
4-16 should be 'Working in Advanced Mode'.
4-17 should be 'Save Settings feature'.
4-18 should be 'Remove JPEG artifacts' and is the wrong picture.

Number 4

Instead of 'click the A channel' should be 'click the Lightness channel' as shown in figure 4-22.

Also, all refereces to 'A' and 'B' channels should, for consistency with Photoshop, refer to 'a' and 'b'
channels.

Numbers 3 and 5

There is no figure to go with number 3. Figure 4-35 should go with number 5 (instead of 4-36 which does
not relate to this section).

Second column - last 3 lines

On a PC (don't know about Mac) pressing Tab in the Curves dialog does NOT switch between Input and Output
fields. It just cycles through all the field on the dialog i.e. normal Windows behaviour.

Vibrance vs. Saturation

The statement that using the saturation controls in the Hue/Saturation (in Photoshop) dialog box affects
all colors is, I don't believe, correct. This only applies to the Saturation controls in Lightroom and
ACR.

1st para

The sentence 'Selective Color can be useful for subtle tweaks to images where there are distinct
differences between colors, but where you need to increase or decrease a specific color that may be
shared by more than one color.' doesn't make any sense. Possibly should be '.. but NOT where you need to
increase ...'?
