Layers of help

My first book "Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE" (Focal Press) by Mark Galer opened the door for this first time user of Photoshop but when I bought this reference manual I had the answers to the many questions of how do I do that. If your enhancing your family album or making a poster, "LAYERS" is an excellant addition to your library.

Refined Simplicity

Perfect book for my needs. I'm a photographer who wanted a book that would allow me to get familiar with the basics of Photoshop quickly. Some of the posters feel this book is repetitive of other Kelby products, nonetheless you won't be disappointed. If you aren't at all familiar with Photoshop, you may not want to jump chapters. As you progress through the book, Matt assumes you have done the previous projects, and doesn't re-explain how to execute certain tasks. As per what some previous posts have stated, this book may be too basic for them. If this is you, not a problem, there are many more advanced titles to be purchased. But for what this book IS, it delivers. Next stop, Restoration & Retouching by Katrin Eismann.

Great learning tool

This is an excellent book for anyone who does not understand layers. I had some experience with layers going into the book, but I have come out with a lot more knowledge and tricks than I did before.

Matt really takes his time to slow down and explain every step for the reader. His online resources are a great help, as well.

Layers

After trying to use Layers in Photoshop Elements 6, going to the website and buying other help books, Layers: The Complete Guide to Photoshop's Most Powerful Feature, was the best in showing me how to use the softwear. The author gave clear instructions on using the tools. I found that you had to do each step in the exact order or it wouldn't work. No skipping steps.

Great for newbies to photoshop

This book is best written for those that are new to photoshop and don't quite understand the amazing power of layers. But, there are many tips and techniques for the more advanced in later chapters. I would mostly recommend it for someone who is wanting to learn the power of layers.
