The best thing I can say about the "new" Practical Photoshop is that the lower price is nice. But as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The tutorials are still well done, but there are fewer in each issue (a lot fewer!). And there is a lot less in the way of editorial content. Most importantly, it seems that reader contributed content has been sacrificed as well. This was a good source of useful information on using a challenging product. I fear that like Photoshop CC, the changes here are going to result in a loss of interest by the viewing public.
