Photo Restoration

At the risk of reviving an expired equine for further flogging, I am considering Ms. Eisman’s book "Photoshop Restoration & Retouching" to help build my skills in this area. The one thing holding me back is the Second Edition I previewed at a local book store seems to written for PS7 and I

using PSCS. I’ve never worked with previous versions of PS, so I don’t

how it will differ or even if it will be different from PS7.
Can someone tell me:

1) Are there any significant differences between the versions of Photoshop that I will not be able to utilize the materials and lessons? Significant

relation to where menu options are and available commands, not "behind the scenes" improvements. Strictly user interface stuff differences.
2) Is there a pending version of the book that will be focused towards

I’ve been to the author’s website, but I did not see any information there about this last bit. I want the book, but if it’s a case of waiting a

bit to get the latest version, that’s fine by me. I’ve been drooling over

for a couple of months now and I’m plodding along on my own without it anyway.

Thanks to all!

I’m sure that I read that the latest versions of her book have an appendix covering CS, just make sure you get that one

The version is immaterial. Her book has never been version specific. The techniques are general and applicable to almost any version of PS from 5 onwards. Learn those techniques and you’ll be able to apply them regardless (even in some other software). There isn’t a better book on the subject.

I’m going by the book shop today for a decision making browse of the book.

certainly like the style the material is presented in, but I’m just a

concerned about instructions involving keystroke commands or menu selections. I take it from your comment about the book being applicable to PS 5 and greater that this is not a problem and PS has been relatively stable in this respect for quite a while.

I yielded to the temptation. It’s on order as of today!
