Adobe Photoshop for Beginners CD by Scott Kelby

[Randy]

I have this CD, and it is great; I have learned a few things right off the bat that I didn't using Classroom in a Book. However, there is a bad file on the CD under ESSENTIALS-Workspace, that will cause your PC to crash. I will now copy and past the response from Peter Bauer of the NAPP Help Desk

"Hi Randy,
The "Photoshop for Beginners" CD has a bad file in the clip Essentials>
Workspace. The good news is that you're not missing anything at the end
of
the little movie. The bad news is it will lock up your computer, any
computer, any time you try to play it. the simple solution is to skip that
clip from now on.
Best wishes for the holiday season!
Pete
NAPP Help Desk".

This portion of the CD merely tells you how to adjust your workspace then save those settings. The rest of the CD seems to be fine.

Good info for the beginners here, Randy. I like Scott Kelby's stuff a lot (as well as NAPP!) He explains things very clearly, and with humor. You know he also has some videos out? Check the NAPP site.

He does have a way of making Photoshop a little less intimidating
