This is certainly not worth the price. Of the 458 pages of the book, only 133 are of potential use to me. Trial versions of software are worth very little cost, since anyone can get them with a bit of searching. Someone who uses Photoshop (not Photoshop Elements) might find this of more value, but the filters included do not work with Photoshop Elements. And I don't use PhotoShop due to its high price (so to be fair, chapter 9's 20 pages may turn out to be applicable to the image processing software that I do use).
I would certainly not recommend that anyone buy this book without first leafing through it at the bookstore ... What's that? No opportunity to do so, since it's a totally CD book. That makes it worth even less tome.
I'd have been happier to pay half or less of the cost of this book, for what it is.

Very useful information.
I'm glad I bought it.
But Jesus, the writing style is practically intollerable. I feel as though I'm being spoken to by a clown on a unicycle.

Nikon cameras are at the opposite end of the spectrum from point-and-click cameras. They offer subtle, professional controls that may be difficult to understand by only the reading the manual. After many hours reading the Nikon manual, but not being able to put the knowledge into practive easily, I read the CD and saw the examples. It all began to make sense.
Peter iNova's CD adds valuable, useful, professional instructions with pictures, examples, filters, tools, reviews of accessories, tips on operation and printing and a lot more to the value of the Nikon you've purchased. I'd even venture to say that you may only be getting half your money's worth from the camera unless you read this book; you will certainly save at least five hours of frustration. Nikon should give one away with each camera they sell!

I bought this CD-ROM eBook first for my Nikon CoolPix 990 camera, and discovered the vast possibilities of this "toy". Being a professional trade magazine writer for the graphic arts press and technique editor of a photo magazine, I feel quite at home with photography in its silver and digital forms, as well as digital imaging in general. To my surprise, Peter iNovas book transformed my CoolPix from a toy to a most useful tool for serious work. It helped me to extend the use of my CoolPix to areas I never dreamed of, and it has delayed the investment in more expensive equipment many times.
Plus, the eBook is frequently upgraded. Recently, I upgraded my eBook for the 2nd time to v4. Very handy when I also upgraded my CoolPix to the CP 5000.
