fourth bullet item under Common Uses

Under Common Uses the author states,

" Refer to Appendix A for full description of the following..."

for the fourth bullet item which states,

"Cloning a selection, channel, or layer"

I cannot find its description on page 499 which is the third page of

Appendix A. The first three bullet items are there but the fourth

seems to miss out.

4th paragraph

5 by 5 Average sample is described as nine-pixel square.
It should be 25-pixel square. (eyedropper tool)

Printed Page 156, 182, 214

Page 156 and the first bulleted item on page 182 reads:

"Yellow is a combination of red and green. Reducing those
two colors is the same as reducing yellow."

This seemingly is in conflict with a sentence on page 214. Under the
heading "Image: Adjust: Color Balance," the second sentence of the
third bulleted item now reads:

"Referring to the RGB/CMY color wheel, you can subtract yellow
by adding red and green."

If there is a contradiction, which page is in error? (I suspect it is
the latter page.)

The first bulleted item after the heading "Comman Errors" refers

to the "Select: Hide Edges" command. I could not find any "Select: Hide
Edges" command, at least on the IBM-compatible versions of Photoshop 4.
I did, however, find a "View:Hide Edges" command. Which is the correct
command?
