The best book on the subject. No update for CS planned

I am the author of this book and if you are looking for the most advanced book on the subject, this is it. There is no other book out there that covers Web Design with Photoshop to that level. For people who look for an easy how-to book, this might not be the right choice, but for anyone who wants to be an expert in Web Design with Photoshop, you simply have to buy this one because the information that you get in this book is not available in anywhere else. For example, the information on image compression is unsurpassed and this book has many gems in it that you won't find when browsing quickly through the book. I can only encourage you to compare this book to others before you make a buying decision (it is also the most beautifully designed book on the market which in my opinion is important. After all, this is a book for designers). But the main reason for me writing a review here is to inform you that THERE WILL BE NO UPDATE OF THE BOOK FOR CS! My publisher and I decided a long time ago that we were going to skip this software release simply because it didn't have enough new web features to justify the time and cost to print a new edition (plus I was working hard on my QuarkXPress 6 book). If you own Photoshop CS and are looking for a Photoshop Web Design book, you can buy this book without having to worry about if the content still applies. It does! The only two things that have changed in CS is that you have now Layer Comps (allowing you to save a layer combination) and a different HTML export when using the slicing tool. I probably will post some updates on my web site ... Very truly yours, Michael

Adobe Photoshop 7 Web Design

Excellent book. I've read many books but this is the first book to totally cover making a tutorial web site from top to bottom with all of the modern tricks. I found out so many photoshop tips from this book. Blumgardt has covered web design from a to z. I recommend this book to any one that wants to be a serious web designer.

Excellent graphics

The graphics in this book are great! Text is easy to understand. Great beginners book!

Very Good!

I read several books about photoshop 7. This book is a gem. There are a lot of wonderful tips and techniques focus on web design-using photoshop. The instruction is clear and straight forward, the examples are easy to folow, no need to download anything. I like the way the author represented this subject- you learn a concept, see its illustration and then do practice. You are not just following step 1 to step 10; the important lesson is you understand WHY, HOW and WHEN to use a command.I think it is the most valuable thing. I read almost all books about this subject, this book is the best one in its category (as at 11/05/2002).If you are new to photoshop, I recommend you to read this book also: Inside Photoshop 7. Another gem!

Finally, the book I have been searching for!

I finally found out how PhotoShop is used to create all of those graphically beautiful Web pages you see online these days. Now I know. The author has an excellent follow-along tutorial along with additional information, tips & tricks. Michael Baumgardt left NO questions unanswered. Before reading this book I had a working knowledge of PhotoShop, GoLive, Illustrator but there were so many missing pieces when I tried to create Web designs. This book filled in the blanks and I now have rebuilt our company's intranet, a friend's club's home page, another's consulting page and my own personal home page. Buy this book, you won't be disappointed.
