Summary: Great book, with many tips for the web design
Comment: This is a great book if you want to know about colors to be used in a web bitmap picture. The coverage on the JPEG and GIF formats is quite comprehensive, and mainly how to take advantage with these formats. Baumgardt takes a while to discuss PNG format but I didn't feel confident in using this format, as it doesn't seem to be widely used.
The chapters on web-safe colors are also quite clear, and very useful. I also found the discussion on avoiding distasful haloes very useful. Tips on photo adjustements were interesting though not quite new to me. I must say I've got already some books on Photoshop, though definetely I'm not an advanced user.
The included interviews with some highly experienced web designers can always tell you new points.
Summing up, this is not a book to teach you how to open or to save a file, or nor how to apply eady made filters, though its section on Candy Eye is interesting. You should have already read a basic photoshop book, or the manuals... But have a look in this one. It is worth it.

Summary: Design and even more design
Comment: There are many books about HTML and Web Design. But not many of those books give you an overview of the different design approaches that you can take to create a web site.
This book is the perfect guide for your web design. It contains even some parts on the different image formats and why to use them. It explains in detail the JPEG, TIFF and GIFF image formats.
The basics of Photoshop and GoLive are explained. With this knowledge you can greatly improve your productivity.
Further more it contains a impressive collection of screenshots which will give you the inspiration you need to create attractive web sites.
This book is a must have for every web designer, hobbyist or pro!

Summary: A good read but get a new proof-reader!
Comment: I got a fair bit from this book even after 7 years of web design and Photoshop experience. It does tend to lean rather heavily on graphic-intensive designs (as you would expect given that Photoshop is one of the 2 tools in the title) and gives less focus to designing tight HTML and small sites than I would have liked. That said, the sections on graphic optimisation are pretty useful and the overall book is a good read.
Photoshop features heavily but the GoLive information is fairly short and I get the impression this was probably hastily bolted on to an existing Photoshop-only text.
My only real complaint (which is a nit-pick) would be that this must be the worst proof-read book I have ever come across. Not only are there typos and spelling errors on pretty much every page but I actually found at least one editor's comment in the text too!
