Summary: Easy to understand and really teaches how.
Comment: I have purchased several books on Photoshop 5 and never got past any particular chapter. As instructional books most read like the manual that comes with the application.
The Official Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Studio Techniques by Ben Willmore gave more than its promise.I never really understood levels, curves,and color corrections until I read Willmore's book.He writes like he really understands the novice and experience amateur. I've been using Photoshop to do photo imaging, greeting card, enhancing or fixing damaged photos, etc. and thought I knew enough about these subjects.Willmore's book taught me more things that I never really knew or understood and I can now work more efficiently.

Summary: Becoming an expert in Photoshop
Comment: I have went through three photoshop 5.0 books. The adobe user guide, adobe classroom in a book, and adobe photoshop studio techniques. Out of all these books, the photoshop studio techniques is above all the best. Ben Willmore puts you at ease and provides humor throughout the book. He relates the unusual and hard stuff about photoshop in lamen terms that anybody can understand. I now understand layers, shadows, drop shadows, color correction, RGB, CMYK, GRC, Levels, Curves, Channels, getting rid of color casts, and understanding what the differences between "ppi" and "dpi" are. He provides an excellenct theory behind the things he is going to explain. So you have the best of both worlds. Adobe has done an excellent job in finding someone that can write a book about photoshop 5.0 and relate it to the general public. Do not buy books on photoshop, just buy this one and you will become a master in short of amount of time. It is too bad they cannot do this for Illustrator and GoLive by Adobe.

Summary: No longer a novice photoshopper....
Comment: I agree with the other reviewers in that the book itself is an excellent Photoshop learning tool. My copy, too, has clearly been "used" a LOT. My only major criticism is that the accompanying disk does not contain very many of the sample images used in the book itself. This would be extremely helpful in learning each technique (without having to spend a lot of extra time trying to locate an image to work on with similar qualities to the ones Mr. Willmore uses in his examples.) And when the disk DOES contain a sample image Mr. Willmore uses in the course of demonstrating a certain technique, it's very difficult and time-consuming to locate. Images are not organized by chapters, but rather in separate folders according to the image's original source.
