Reader Reviews
Ben Willmore explains the principles and theory of why Photoshop works. His work is concise, quick to the point, very informative and fun to read. It's a medium sized book, but packed with all the information you'd find in all of those 3 inch thick books put together. If I only bought one Photoshop book, this would be the one. The first section 'Working Foundations' is like a Photoshop 101 class. It gives you the basics of Photoshop (and in a very fun and easy way, too!). I found lots of great tips to speed up my work! The second section, 'Production Essentials' covers the most important stuff for a working studio or graphic business. This is the topic that often gets skipped in other Photoshop books. Willmore covers the principles behind color correction, sharpening, curves, working with grayscale, and other techniques neccessary for producing professional output. The third section, 'Creative Explorations' goes into different techniques for enhancing your image. It covers image blending, retouching, using type and other filter effects. Occassional Photoshop users will find everything they need in this book. Professional users will find this book as an essential building block and reference for their Photoshop knowledge.
