About this title

From the Publisher

Al and Colin found they didn't have the space or time on their sites (actionfx.com and PhotoshopCafe.com) to pass on all their knowledge to visitors - people kept asking them for more, more, more... so here it is: more information, more effects, more tips... and lots more!

Photoshop has helped to create an army of devoted followers, not by being relatively easy to pick up, but by having a huge range creative options available to you once you have learned the basics. You can then let your imagination run wild...

With Foreword by Scott Kelby:
"One of the most powerful features of Photoshop, may be the effect it has on the people who use it. People who use Photoshop are hungry for information, they're hungry to learn the latest tricks, the hot new techniques, and that common interest has an amazing way of bringing like-minded people together."

From Reviewers on the book:
"This will prove invaluable to everyone who uses the program as it will improve productivity and increase their use of the program as will the entire book. This really is going to be a must have item in any designers/students/serious enthusiasts bag."

"...the lessons are very applicable to real world design issues."

"This is good nuts and blots information that enables us to get inside the program. I cannot imagine having too much of this kind of info."
"This is a fascinating trick, that you could spend ages with. It is really powerful and again explained really well. It makes you want to use it just because you can"

"Brilliant time saver. This book gets better and better"
