Not much to be said, if you know you're way a bit around photoshop this book is worthless, if you just learned how to turn on a computer and use a mouse this book is for you.

This book is great for people who are new to photoshop or are longtime photoshop users but new to web graphics. Not only is the book enjoyable, it also has some good one liners like, "Now, the only reason you might ever open the GIF89a dialog box again would strictly be for nostalgia... kind of like playing an old Donny and Marie album, just to torture yourself with bad memories of the past." If you are a graphic designer moving from the print to the web world this book is a great start. This book does not make a good reference or guide for advance photoshop techniques. If you are just starting out in photoshop, this is the book for you if you just plan on editing web graphics.

This is the second book by the same author that I've read. I was happy that the style and purpose has not changed - it taught me what i needed to know, quickly and easily. I've had quite a bit experience with Photoshop, and although I am mostly self taught, consider myself a decent user. Even though there were parts of this book that I already knew, there were other parts that were beyond my current knowledge base and I was surprised by how much I obviously still needed (and need) to learn. Overall, I thought this was a great book, that was easy to read (I agree with that one guy who wrote about this being "conversational in tone") and helpful if you need to learn some of the important points of workign with Photoshop for web design.
