Summary: *Everything* in Photoshop Defined Clearly
Comment: Okay. Here's the deal. This isn't a book. It's a STUNT. It is an act of will. The author seems to say: I will name EVERYTHING in Photoshop, tell you what everything does, explain to you how to use everything and what the things to avoid are. Then I'll organize it all, cross reference it and give you pages of practical examples. Done. There is nothing in here except content. No cute stories, no lame jokes no rambling personal opinions that substitute for facts in so many books on the market. just wall to wall organized content. In short, the book treats you like a professional. It seems like this shouldn't be unusual, but it is. Adobe should bundle the book with the software. It is that comprehensive, authoritative and sensible.

Summary: essential reference for the pro
Comment: for the accomplished photoshop user, this is one of the couple of books worth owning. As a graphic design lecturer of many years i am very familiar with the workings of the product, but i still find this and a couple of other similiar books more than earn their keep, for the fact that i can look up any forgotten setting or dialogue and quickly discover its secrets.
best of all this book is the successor to the excellent photoshop in a nutshell series which was sadly lamented (by me). this is a guide to the software and to the common techniques and pitfalls.
plus the cover design is superb, i only wish i had the shop manuals for dreamweaver and illustrator to sit alongside... sigh.

Summary: What The Heck Does Inner Glow Mean?
Comment: Do you know the meaning of every one of the zillion commands found in Photoshop? No, I thought not. When you want to find out the difference between random or level-based methods in the Extrude Dialog Box, can you immediately turn to that topic in one of your Photoshop Books? The Photoshop 6 Shop Manual is an astounding and necessary volume for a Photoshop library. This encyclopedia lists every command, tool, dialog box, and option found in Photoshop. It lists them, and then describes their usage along with issues to consider in their use and mistakes to avoid. This material uses up the first 700 pages of the book.
Next we come upon 230 pages containing 170 techniques which include such things as: correcting fleshtones; colorizing with duotone mode; and evaluating shadows and highlights. Wait, we're not finished yet. The next section contains 23 pages of keyboard shortcuts. I'm used to some small two-sided cardboard list of the shortcuts. I never dreamed there were this many. Next there are 15 pages of color plate, followed by an immense index of topics, and an issue index.
A couple of years ago I purchase a book for Photoshop 5 titled "Photoshop in a Nutshell" which pretty much followed the same format. I was disappointed that a version for version 6 never appeared. When I got the Photoshop 6 Shop Manual home I noted that it is by the same author as the Nutshell book. It?s essentially the same book only updated, and with a new title and publisher. Its size is also bigger, going from 632 pages to 1074 pages. If you use Photoshop you simply must have this book...
