Inside Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) 5.5

Este libro presenta un metodo de enseñanza increiblemente práctico y sencillo, el cual hace que sea sumamente útil para aquellos que si bien teniamos nociones no tan básicas de photoshop no teniamos claro el uso de todas las herramientas y su forma de interactuar entre ellas a la hora de facilitar el trabajo. Incluye interesantes observaciones sobre como trabajar las imagenes según sea internet o imprenta.Lo único bajo del libro es el trabajo de imagenes para internet (lease imageReady) en el cual los autores se cayeron gráficamente hablando pues presentan gráficas y páginas casi infantiles y en deshuso.

I have purchased Gary and Barbara Bouton's Photoshop books and I must say he always does a good job.Bouton starts with a fairly comprehensive introduction to computer graphics, that is appropriate for both beginners and advanced users alike. Bouton uses challenging and practical exercises that combine the various features of Photoshop, making learning much faster. The CD is treasure trove in itself-- to jumpstart the novice web developer, Bouton included clip art graphics and backgrounds.This book is a must-have for Photoshop users.

I learned about the "Inside Photoshop" books at a web seminar that I went to a few months ago, and almost bought the 5.0 version of the book, even though I had Photoshop 5.5. After I did a little research, I learned the 5.5 version of the book was coming out soon, and I immediately ordered it. I looked at quite a few Photoshop books during my research, and this is, without question, the winner. This book is not only an excellent learning resource for beginners, it's a great reference book for advanced users. Almost every aspect of Photoshop is covered, with plently of examples and graphics included. You'll keep this one close at hand.
