The book requests a download of 4 styles of Bernhard Modern Standard Font. I purchased the Student Edition of Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows which, disappointingly, does not contain this particular font set amongst its files (even though it has the other requested files). Basically I would like to know if Deke can recommend a substitute font for the one required? Thanks! |

My Windows Vista copy of the stand-alone CS4 (not the Suite or Extended Edition) shows 4 metatags within a category heading Mobile SWF. My guess: Adobe added the category after the book went to press, as there is no written text mentioning Mobile SWF. |

On the splash page, 'Visible Color Wheel', Deke introduces color names derived from art pigments to make it easier for people to imagine degree rotations, and suggests ripping the page out of the book and putting it on your wall. |

In the gentle hint that one should look at your online Photoshop training, you suggest that readers "get started with your 7-day Free Trail Account". Lessee now...is that Mark Trail? Or the Free Trail of the Century? |

The Pearl comments on the option bar contents when the ruler tool is used, referring to the angle (A) and distance (D1) fields. That was correct for Photoshop CS2 but in CS4 (and maybe CS3; I never used that version) the label is now L1. (Also: I'm using Windows and don't know what label the MacOS version uses.) The text also makes no mention of the (unpopulated) L2 field. |

The book says to go inside the pattern fill dialog box... this is not the pattern needed. In CS4, one must go to patterns in a submenu to find the Metal Landscape pattern |

The problem I reported regarding the missing alpha channels in the file, 'Matchgirl.tiff' was not an error. The alpha channels are present in the file when it is opened directly into Photoshop CS4. |

The layers pallete shows a layer for the stars with the effects from the 2084 layer. Nowhere is there mention that one needs to create this as a separate layer. It appears that this layer is just created and not a copy of the 2084 layer. Is that correct? |

You mention that one should set the Photoshop CS4 printing to "printer manages colors". In other classes that I have taken the instructors have said to not allow the printer to manage colors, and instead set this Photoshop manages colors. Which is correct, and why? |
