Book Reviews of Layers: The Complete Guide to Photoshop's Most Powerful Feature
Book Review: I can FINALLY stop looking for this wealth of info and help!
Summary: 5 Stars
Working with layers has made me insane since Photoshop 7.0 and I now use CS4.
Warm body teaching in a class; warm body tutor at home; books I cannot count - not to mention talking with many colleagues.
Nothing was sinking in to stay beyond one photo project at a time and then.... slowly.
Still, I have managed to photo people, perform "facelifts" on portraits using a little
of the retained layer info plus my own method devised to keep me from blowing up 5 computers.
And through all this I have managed to become a master at "retouching,"
Deke's "LAYERS" book finally broke through the block with simplicity. I have only minor complaints for future revisions but
not for myself as I was able to recognize what was missing. My work is somewhat easier and faster now with less cursing.
Thanks, Amazon, for bringing this book to my attention. Thanks, Deke, for putting this gem together.
