Great for web developers Rating:
5 / 5
This book is an awesome resource for learning to use photoshop for web development. It takes you through setting up photoshop's settings, all of the tools as well as the process that you will have to go through as a developer. It is very straight forward without to much fluff. It is also easy to read and look at with an appealing layout and pleasant color pictures and examples.
Very Good Book Rating:
5 / 5
Although I'm not an absolute beginner to Photshop, there's so much in Photoshop which I don't understand or have not dabbled with before. This book covers all the basic stuff you need to know to use Photoshop for the WEB, and then some. "A guide for serious beginners" as it's aptly labelled, it has step-by-step instructions, diagrams and screenshots galore, covering all bases. Very clearly written, and elegantly designed (the icing on the cake). Good Job. I highly recommend it!
Excellent primer for non-designers Rating:
5 / 5
This is an excellent primer. Work your way through the examples and you'll have a good grounding in the use of Photoshop and Image Ready for the web. The downside: Sometimes where it would be nice to download the graphic used in the book to try out a function, but it's not available. In other instances, the accompanying file has a different name in the book. In places the proof reading is sloppy: graphics supposed to highlight features don't point to the right place. Perhaps most seriously, the author is almost entirely focussed on building a website in Photoshop and Image Ready. Slicing up graphics certainly isn't the best way to build a site. But these are niggles; get this book.
