The aim with this book is to show you how to replicate techniques and effects that professionals use rather than advanced Photoshop skills. By the end of it, you should be confident enough to use them in your own images; blending these techniques with your own creativity and inspiration. As one of the authors, Janee, recently said: "While people do like my work and I'm always striving to improve it, I think that my goal has always been to show...

A LOT to Like

SUMMARY: A presentation of numerous practical, entry-level-to-advanced techniques that can be learned while completing 31 detailed, step-by-step relevant, non-trivial tutorials. "Learn by doing" emphasis. Put-on-your-hardhat and dig into the exercises approach.NOTEWORTHY: * EZ to read. Not pretentious. Doesn't make you feel like a PS "idiot."* Practical advice: Not just the "hows," but the "whys." * Richly illustrated: Lots of diagrams. * Very, VERY good chapters on restoration / retouching techniques.* Emphasis on non-destructive methods.* Learn the relationships among layers, layer masks, adjustment layers through Layers palette screenshots.* Have a question or problem? Use their e-mail support. I did. It's quite good.* NOT a comprehensive guide for the film-based photographer making the transition to digital nor a soup-to-nuts consummate bible on PS7.* NOT for true beginners. Get some PS experience first. Understand the basics of tools, menus, adjustment layers and layer masks.

A fine read with many great ideas

I found this book to be full of easy-to-follow examples of useful and non-trivial techniques. It seems as if the last reviewer had just been looking for a coffee table book, something fluffy with pretty pictures. This book's pictures are fine for illustrating the techniques, and, for me, that was what was important. I am very happy with my choice of Professional Photographic Techniques, for a book to really use in learning my way around in photoshop through photo manipulation.

Excellent book not your typical try by the numbers

This is a good book-not photoshop for dummies. Most photoshop books turn out to be "paint by the numbers" but this book provides the reader with content between the heres how you do it taxonomy. Enjoyed reading it-haven't tried all the lessons yet but I will in time. Thanks much

Mightily impressed!

This book is chock full of clear examples and on-the-spot useful tips that make Photoshop a whole lot more powerful, even in my hands.You don't have to be an expert to understand such easy-to-follow language, detailed screenshots, and and beautiful step-by-step photos.I've gotten lost or bored in a lot of other Photoshop books, but this one made me more skilled without the pain and confusion I'm accustomed to. I wouldn't hestitate to recommend this to beginners or someone seriously working with Photoshop professionally.

Very Well Written

This well-written book is a real guide and instruction manual for photographic editing using Photoshop. It explains in detail different methods of editing photos and images with clearly illustrated pictures. It is not "technical" as other books can be and loses your interest. When reading this book it is evident that it is written by "pros" who have knowledge and experience using Photoshop for photo manipulation and editing. It is one of those "tools of the trade" if you work with photographs of any kind.
