If you have had it before, it brings you up to date on the changes and additions to each individual program. If, like me, you've owned individual programs in the suite but never the entire suite, it gives you a general overview of the purposes and capabilities of each individual program, and an idea of how to make the Suite work together seamlessly and in an intelligently coordinated manner.The initial overview serves to:* define the scope of each program* help you set Suite-wide preferences for color management, etc.,* familiarizes you with elements of the user interface, concepts like layers, shortcuts, and menus that are common to all programs,* shows you how to move the same file from program to program or work with files created in another Suite application* and just generally points out ways to work more efficiently.From there, you proceed to program-specific details on each of the seven component programs. Each program is given sufficient attention that you become familiar with its capabilities, interface, and very general usage instructions for common tasks. This overview or introduction covers the important features and is sufficient to make you feel comfortable in the workspace and eager to experiment, but is not a substitute for a book that goes into more depth and specifics on the type of work that you plan to do with an individual program.Looking over the programs I know fairly well (Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Acrobat), I found the information to be both general and relevant to all types of users. In Photoshop, for example, which has two constituencies (the photographer and the designer) both needs were well covered. Since this is the first time that I have owned Photoshop Extended, I appreciated the introduction to those features. The coverage of the other two is equally good and, since I was upgrading from several versions back, I really benefited for the review and update.I was vaguely familiar with both InDesign and Illustrator and had often seen other people work with them. I found that the explanations were very understandable and sufficient to allow me to create a basic document in either, but not a complex project. (Both these programs have steep learning curves).Flash and Fireworks were two programs I've even never seen used. I now understand them enough to know that I'll probably never need Flash (thank goodness!) but I really should get to know Fireworks better. I'm actively getting familiar with the program and I can understand the explanations given and the concepts involved since it intersects so well with both Photoshop and Dreamweaver. The instructions in this book are sufficient to get me started and keep me entertained for a while.So, all in all, I'm delighted to have gotten the book. It is fact-oriented, not project-oriented. It is not aimed at the professional who has been working with all these programs for a long time, but anyone else (from beginner to strong intermediate) will benefit from the coordinated overview. Sure, it's possible to just play around with the programs until you figure them out (or, at least, those parts you actually need), but there is no substitute for laying a good groundwork of basic skills and practical knowledge about each program and a clear and up-to-date overview of where everything fits in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ THis book was Good for this Dummy *by P***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2010* I am not a graphic designer or big user of the Adobe software but I use it occasionally and found that this book was great for getting me up quickly and helping me use the software. I found that the instructor was clear and simply stated so even a novice like me could get going and produce some nice projects very quickly.When I looked to see what else was available from these authors, I found that they have a many more books with video and lesson files on DVD, which I cannot wait to try out. Look for another review from me on one or more of their books under the series name Digital Classroom. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 8 book in 1! *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2016* I did not personally use this book. I bought it for someone who needed to learn Adobe Creative Suite fast. This book really seemed to help him get the overview of the program. He still had to search for tutorials on how to do the more detailed work. Overall I would highly suggest these 'For Dummies' books. There are full of great basis info and are laid out in a way that it is very easy to follow. I really do like that they put all of these 'books' into one larger volume. So much easier to keep track of one book than EIGHT!! I would highly suggest this book in particular and this brand of books to my friends and family.
