Re: Photoshop 6

[Dan Culbertson <danculb@concentric.net>]

I personally don't think the manual is deficient but it has become more of a
dictionary than an encyclopedia.  Wouldn't want to try to *learn* Photoshop
from the manual but having read a zillion Photoshop books I rather like its
current concise reference format.

As for PDF manuals -- I haven't yet figured out how to read them in the
bathtub where I prefer to read computer books.  :-(
