Summary: A good book by an excellent teacher
Comment: I was first introduced to Chris Orwig through his online training modules on Lynda-dot-com. He is full of energy, creativity, and does a very good job explaining things. His students at Brooks must enjoy his classes.
This new book by Chris is very good and uses many of the same examples he uses online. The screen captures in the book are all black and white but that doesn't seem to distract from the message and learning. The B&W format helps keep the book selling price down which we appreciate. This book is part of a How To...techniques series. All 100 subjects he covers are helpful to know but not all are really "techniques". Some are explanations, settings, and preferences, but are time-saving.
Overall, this is a great book to review the highlights of CS3 and is very suitable for the photographer using CS3. His teaching style is to get right to the point of what he is teaching. I like that.
The book covers CS3, RAW and Bridge. Chris also has a Lightroom book coming out soon.
