Here's a key to the markup:

        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


UNCONFIRMED errors and comments from readers:


[10]  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.


{63}  4th paragraph;

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


(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.)


{280} 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?
