Query: Indeed....Very Frustrating

I originally found this book to be promising while browsing through it at the local bookstore. However, once I got it home and began to work on the tutorials, I quickly became thoroughly frustrated as key steps were left out and/or most of the initial work was already done for you. I can see where that might be of some help to some people, but for me, it was a disappointment. I am a relative new comer and I had envisioned a book through which I would learn by completing projects in their entirety.I don't mind too much that this book relied heavily on plug-ins and demo software, but it would have been nice to have, when applicable, provided companion tutorials where all the effects are accomplished using Photoshop alone.Bottom line: I wish there was a zero star rating as I cannot in good conscience recommend this book to anyone.
