Special Edition Using Adobe Photoshop 6 offers complete coverage of Photoshop 6. Advanced issues include color management, new tools and features, such as more robust handling of vector artwork (allowing for easier control of lines, text, and paths from other Adobe applications). Learn to use the context-sensitive options bar that gives you faster access to the controls for each tool or object and better control of presets, allowing for more customizability of brushes, styles, and patterns.

Customer Reviews
Adobe Photoshop 6 is a newly edition and there are not a huge number of books you can find about this software. So here comes a plus difference for this book: Since Photoshop 6 uses vector artwork, this book helps you about vector designing too; where previously versions do not.
Among the books I have read, this book accepts comparison only with "Photoshop 6: Classroom in a Book" which adobe's own training team has written. Similar subjects but this book has a wider training ideal.
For instance, you will be hard-pressed to find any useful information out there about using spot color channnels that even approaches the excellent explanation in this book. Also, there are a multiplicity of interesting and off-the-beaten-track ideas on how to maximize the implemententation of some the more common tools
I only bought it last week and already it is the most thumbed-through book in my reference library. Whenever I'm hit with a challenging project, I look to this book alone for inspiration. Not only that, but the author's Web site is a treasure trove of useful information and resources. Richard, the author, is a genius at cutting through all the psychobabble and getting right down to the meat of matter.
I cannot recommend this book enough.
Another thing that impresses me - the special website for users of this book, ps6.com. (Any Photoshop user can access most of the site, though.) It has the sample files you'll want to use when going through some of the book's step-by-step tutorials. (No need for a bundled CD, the sample files are on the site! You will need a password that is found in the book to get to the images, though.) I really was impressed that the author took the trouble to have a special site for this book's readers. The author seems committed to his readers, and in providing a helpful, comprehensive and informative book.
