I was blown away by the content of this book. Very detailed , well structured. This book seems to have it all within its pages . If you’re looking for a true guide this is the book for you look no other place . I just can’t believe a book like this is on the market most people gatekeepers but this author wants us to win and doesn’t mind sharing his ideas and teachings . Having a hard copy is best so I can just flip through the book and highlight what i need to .

I’m working my way through reading this book. So far so good. Amazon delivered the book with the front cover damaged - I asked for a replacement and received it very quickly. Thanks for that! Please take care sending EVERY type of book out to customers.

I have now read 20% of the book. I liked the reading sample. The book is also written in plain English. So I bought it as a Kindle version. But then: as soon as it came to learning, the author forgets that he wants to teach us Photopea and not show us what he does with it. So I was asked to open a mountain photo. “What kind of mountain photo?” I thought. So I downloaded one from Google. But then I remembered that in the introduction he wrote something about material that could be downloaded. And sure enough, I found the first photo. It was in chapter 4, so I downloaded it. I was supposed to “rasterize” this picture. And I did. No explanation as to why the photo wasn't already rasterized anyway. And then: I could have taken any other mountain photo. Because he didn't manipulate anything else in the picture. I was then told to load a brown block, which I did. In the book, the brown block was then a frame if it was arranged correctly. In reality, however, the size of the brown block was much smaller than the mountain photo. So I enlarged the block and finally had my frame. It goes on like this the whole time. In the next examples, it doesn't even ask me to open any sample files. I do learn how to do this when masking. But in the first example, not a word about how I can then use this masked file in any way. Nope! It's no fun like that. I'm still undecided about returning the book. But unfortunately it's the only Kindle book out there. So I'm still hesitating.
