Excellent Book.....one of the BEST...on Photoshop 5.5

I am a web designer and a teacher by profession. Here in India...the reprints are pretty late...This book has been by far the best i have on photoshop...I had started on Fireworks because i felt the learning curve on photoshop was too steep...but after going thru this book and it's examples i feel this is by far the BEST BOOK ON Photoshop 5.5 and ImageReady....Kudos to Mr Gary Bouton....Expecting to see the next book on Photoshop 6.0 very soon...

Excellent Book-Easy to Follow

This book is written very well. I am a beginner when its comes to Photoshop and this book really helped me become more productive when using this software. I felt that the examples were clear, concise & packed with excellent tips, such as the keyboard shortcuts, memory efficiency tips and the chapters devoted just to ImageReady. After reading this book you will definitely walk away feeling more confident and thereby becoming a more productive user with the software. This alone is well worth the cost of the book.

It's indeed a very very good "fundamental" book!

I am a beginner in using Photoshop and I find the material and exercise in this book are excellent. Althought I only finish 9 chapters, I have learnt a lot and the examples are easy to follow too.

Great Tutorial Book

I have been using Photoshop for a few years but only recently upgraded to 5.5. This book could not have been written more clearly. The step by step examples are explained in detail and it is packed with great tips. Its emphasis on how integrate keyboard shortcuts into your work flow opened my eyes and made me work much more efficiently. If you already have a basic grasp of Photoshop and want to go up another level, this a great book. It even includes a few chapters on ImageReady 2, which is dealt with pathetically in Adobe's documentation that came with 5.5.
