Product Description:
Photoshop is a software for professional image creation and editing. This text uses proven projects and techniques to teach the software. It features tips and tricks, updates on using Photoshop 6 and links to useful resources. The comprehensive coverage of all Photoshop features should give readers a solid foundation of knowledge and a reference tool once the program is learned. The CD includes files for all the projects in the book.
Amazon.com Review:
The shift from Photoshop 5 to Photoshop 6 is fairly substantial, and it makes the new version intimidating to both new and experienced Photoshop artists. Mastering Photoshop 6 lays bare the application on which so many depend, making it approachable for new and old users.
Part I, "Back to Basics," is the lion's share of the book, consuming over 400 pages. The first several chapters of this section discuss the philosophy of how Photoshop works and how to set up the application and get around the interface. Next, the process of actually using Photoshop is defined through illustrations and examples. For experienced users, features that are new to Photoshop 6 are highlighted with a big "NEW" button in the margin next to the feature.
Part II explores image retouching and color adjustments, including calibrating an image for printing. Part III, "Mastering Techniques," describes techniques for making selections, using layers, using filters, and various overlay methods. "Photoshop 6 for the Web," Part IV, goes into detail on using Photoshop for preparing artwork for use on Web sites, and how to use ImageReady, the companion to Photoshop for prepping such art.
An ample number of illustrations and screen shots, accompanying step-by-step instructions, make this book a valuable resource. Consisting of 25 chapters, four appendices, and a CD-ROM, this tome is a handy reference manual for users of all levels. If only books of this size came with a spiral binding so they could lie flat on your desk while you're working. --Mike Caputo

Never used Photoshop before? Intimidated just by saying it? This book will rid you of all that. It starts off by giving a short tutorial using the tools Photoshop has to offer. After which, the tools of the interface are explained. As you progress through the chapters, you start to get an idea of how to properly employ Photoshop as you get more familiar with its tools. In short, you LEARN by doing. It even has a section on the blending effects and gives a good explanation on layers. I recommend this ... Read More

The material in the book is good up to a point where the cd program inevitably crashes. This is not only frustrating but gets my computer locked up. In this context I would say that... spent on the book was largely wasted. This program hasn't just locked up once or twice but every time I have tried to use it. I'm running Windows ME with a Pentium 4 processor and 512 RAM
