This is another excellent book by Don Seegmillar.
Note that it is aimed at people who already know their way around Painter. He specifically points out in the introduction that it's not a complete overview or how-to book (buy his first book for that, if you can track it down ISBN:1584502320 - note it doesn't say 'Painter' in the title). The new book is for those who want to add to their knowledge, not how to find their way around the interface. So there's loads of handy/interesting hints and titbits, but is aimed at painting and interesting Painter features, rather than every single feature of Painter.
If you want to find our how to autopaint your photos this book isn't for you. It more about painting from scratch.

Even if you are new to DIGITAL ART and Painter, then this is the book for you. The instructions for each lesson are easy to follow, using screen grabs when needed to show how things should look on your workspace.
Don Seegmiller is a true master and this book will not let you down.

I haven't really used this book much after browsing through it quickly. Personally in this day of Youtube I prefer to watch a video about Painter than read about it- after all we are dealing with a visual medium.
