As a designer who needed to expand my capabilities,I found this to be the best book I've seen on Photoshop - by far. I had considered plunking down a lot of cash to take a hands-on Photoshop seminar, but I'm glad I got this book instead.I saved a ton and learned more than I probably would have in a class.
The progressive tutorials are an amazingly easy way to quickly learn how all of the great Photoshop tools work.They areclear and easy to follow, and at the same time offer tons of practical information about how to use Photoshop in the real world. I especially appreciated how the illustrations move right along to help explain the steps in the tutorials. The writer gave me all the information I needed to create the projects and get a good sense of how Photoshop really works. And the tutorials focus on exactly the kind of tools I need to do my job.Jan Kabili really knows what she's talking about.
I'm not a total Photoshop novice, but I didn't realize how much there was to learn until I read this book. This is one of the most useful Photoshop books in my design library.
