"It is what I've been looking for..."
"Until I downloaded your book, I was totally discouraged in attempting to put into practice what the other four books on Photoshop I own were teaching. Many times a step seemed to have been left out or no means of correcting something going wrong or any explanation of 'why' it was going wrong was given, the consequence being that I was getting totally demoralized about learning Photoshop. I've only spent about ten hours so far with your book (over a number of days, of course), but it is what I've been looking for. I am learning a lot and masking is no longer a mystery. So thanks for taking the trouble to spell it out."
