Waite Group Press, 2001

Don't Judge a Book by its Cover!
This book is a complete steal for whatever price it's now selling for. I bought it (not the limited edition, but the original) several years ago used for $8 (including shipping!) and have ever since referred to it as the best Photoshop foundation book around. (Regardless of what version of Photoshop you're currently working in.) Make no mistake about it, this is not a casual read. It's ...

I quote from the editor's note right on this website: "This book is for both the enthusiastic amateur and experienced pro alike - it's full of techniques and advice that will help Photoshop users from intermediate to advanced." So, ...
