I think this book is really good. It has understandable hands-on tutorials and the example pictures used in the book can be downloaded from Internet.

Just an awesome, awesome book! I've been "using" PS for years, but without any real in-depth studying or training. So, while I was comfortable with some of the basics, I had never really been able to grasp layers and how to use them. I'm working my way through the book now and it has made such a difference. I'm finally truly grasping how layers work and how to make them work for me. I
The book is well laid out, easy to follow and not overwhelming or intimidating in size. I also love that the photos used in the examples are available for easy download online.
There have been a few spots where I got a bit confused and had to reread and play around a little to figure out what I needed to do (or had done wrong), but I was always able to get back on track quickly. Generally, it was because I had the wrong layer active - duh!
While I use the keyboard shortcuts that Matt suggests for each step, I also take the time to figure out how to do the same thing in the menus. I know I won't remember all of the shortcuts, so figure it's good to be comfortable doing things either way.
Wish I'd purchased this years ago! I can't say enough good things.
This book is a great way to learn how to use layers in Photoshop. It teaches you how to "think in layers", that is, to use layers to do each edit to your photograph, and easily undo and redo each edit as necessary. The illustrations and examples are very good in explaining what is going on with each edit. I think Chapter 6 "Enhancing Photos with Layers" alone is worth the price of the book, especially the couple of pages on dodging and burning done right. This book will save you a lot of time editing photographs, and you will do a much better job and have more fun editing as well.
"Quite simply good"

I am more a AE fan than a Photoshop user. Most of the tutorial books that I buy on Photoshop, I do not finish them, if I do not find them interesting.
But, this book will remain as a reference book.
"Quick delivery"

I got this book sooner than later and am satisfied with the quick delivery. I haven't been able to try any of the features yet so I can't comment on that except for how fast I've received this book.
Excellent starter book for the rookie. Matt introduces you to the world of Photoshop layers one tutorial at a time, using simple examples and laymen's terminology. One year ago I was just starting w Photoshop and terrified. This book helped me learn all the basics and quickly become comfortable with the concept of layers, crucial for the beginner to understand. This book is particularily good at explaining the confounding and confusing concept of clipping mask, smart objects, and blending options. It is a classic instuctional book, worth holding on.
