a "must-read," if you want to fine-tune photoshop knowledge

This is one of the best "how-to" books on computer imaging that I ever read. Each example is complete in itself -- they can really hold my interet throughout. The steps cross-reference accompanying pictures precisely. Everything is Thoroughly and methodically laid out -- no missing pieces or glibbed over details to stump readers.

A "Must Have" Book

As a certificate program graphic design student, I found this to be one of the best books on Photoshop, even though it was written prior to the new software versions. It is well-edited, and explains masking, layering, and blending images clearly and concisely with very helpful screenshots of what you need to do.

You can learn to master masks in Photoshop

This book really allowed me to learn masking in Photoshop. The step-by-step instructions allow you to follow the descriptions on your computer and see the results. It is rare to find a great book in Photoshop that teaches you so much. I would recommend this book to anyone who seeks to understand how to do collages using the mask technology in Photoshop. You won't regret buying this book at all. I can only wish there is the same kind of book in Illustrator and Painter and all the other graphics programs I use so that I can have a better understanding of the full special functions that are embedded in each of those applications.

Photoshop Collage Bible

This book is one of the best books I have read in some time. Dispite it's small size it packs much more punch than some of the mamouth books out there. It has well written and concise chapters outlining not only the processes needed to create wounderful effects but it also list the legal implications of your work, details getting and processing sorce material, web optimization, and the elements of style that make these effects useful. I took out of the library but I have since decided that it must be mine. This is not a magic elixer but if you are doing anything that involves putting multiple images together this is a great book to start with and to have as a refrence.

Upgrade from overviews to this professional treatment.

Clearly-presented specialized techniques for studio work characterize this useful book. Work out with layers, layer masks, and adjustment layers to achieve realistic competency in design graphics
