Version 6 of
Photoshop is probably the most extensive upgrade the program has seen in its lifetime. Likewise,
Inside Adobe Photoshop 6 has undergone an extensive revamp to cover everything new on offer.
As the author of 13 books on Photoshop, Gary Bouton has developed a style that is informal, accessible and perfectly suited to introducing those with little or no experience of digital image editing to the industry standard application.
Part one covers the basics including version 6 features and encourages you to jump in with both feet and experiment. Having let off steam, you are treated to an entire chapter devoted to colour management, one of version 6's big triumphs and the first implementation of a colour management system that can be understood and implemented by mere mortals.
The main part of the book is divided into five sections--Introducing the Basics, Digging Deeper, Exploring the Cool Stuff and Introducing ImageReady. Each of Photoshop's features is introduced then explained by means of a tutorial. Creating Special Effects with Type, for example, introduces type modes and some special text effects before showing you how create an ad using type on a path, a stroke effect and warped text.
If you want to know how to restore old or damaged photos, create montages, get the best results when scanning and printing, create illustrations from scratch, or any of the hundreds of other image editing tasks Photoshop makes possible, this book is one of the best starting places you could choose. --Ken McMahon
