 Photoshop 6 for Photographers
This is a paper-bound book that can be used as a quick reference for this very deep program for photo editing. It is relatively easy to use, but doesn't have all the information for the avid digital photographer.
 Okay, but Kelby's new book is better
This book is pretty good, but lacking in good examples in my opinion. The techniques are fine but I thought the examples and the instructions given in Scott Kelby's book are better.brI had to choose, I think I'd buy Kelby's digital photogrpahy book (plus it's for Photoshop 7 and includes info on the new Camera Raw plugin)
Excellent Book
This award-winning book,complete with color illustrations and a very helpful CDROM with quicktime tutorials, is one must read for photographers. Thoroughly explaining everything from monitor calibration right up to the tricks of the trade to create effects seen in magazines, Martin Evening has a real valuable read for anyone serious about Photoshop. Although concentrating more on prepress and printing than web usage, the techniques he applies range from basic to expert, including how to remove fogged film cast, which my own Photoshop instructor thought impossible! I would very much like to see more books by this author on Photoshop's capabilities.
Definately not an easy to read book
I understand this book is about serious stuff, but heck it could be a little bit more easy to read. I bought it especially because everybody said the Color chapter was the best around, well, after reading it all I can say is that is boooooooring. My God there must be a better way to write all that knowledge down!!
 Too much assumptions
Here's my scoop:br1) The author assumes you already know PS6.0. At least an intermediate user.br2) The author also assumes you are book publisher and knows what is a prepress plate, etc...br3) Key-strokes/mouse-clicks about a feature to perform an operation in examples were not indicated clearly in his book. E.g. "Double-click the highlight eyedrop-per icon in the dialog box" when there are 3 eyedrop icons. Which one is he talking about?br4) The explanations about Levels in Chapter 8 can be expanded much further to explain in more details what each button means and why I need to do it. How is it related to photography.pIn short, I'm very disappointed and frustrated with this book and pretty much fooled by its title.
