If you're a professional photographer (or aspire to be one), get this book.
Unlike other books, this book skips the worthless cheezy stuff that professionals
aren't likely to be interested in to begin with. This book focuses on tasks that
photographers and graphic professionals are most likely to need during post processing.
This book is simply a "must have" for those who want to get straight to the point,
without having to flip through hundreds of pages of worthless fluff, just to get the
most out of Photoshop. The book is easy to follow & well written.
#1 If you want to be able to make great composites, work with layers and masks, etc.,
on the level of someone who's trying to create a composite for a cover of say Redbook
Magazine, to be imported into InDesign or Illustrator for polishing- then THIS is your
book!
#2 If you want to remove portraits from horrible backgrounds, and engage in the common
advance post processing procedures common to professional photography, then THIS is your
book!
#3 If you just got a digital camera last week, and you're just now trying to figure out
how to work Photoshop- Get THIS book and immerse yourself. To be honest, anything less
probably a gross waste of your time in the long run as this book focuses on the tasks
that are most needed for taking your photos to a professional level.
Lastly, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to regret purchasing this book if you make even a
modest attempt at learning the material. Like anybook, the single most reason people
don't learn software is because they don't READ the material. People want stuff spoon
fed to them. Hint: If you make money from photography, and you don't know how to do
the things in this book, but your competitors do.. you will be at a HUGE disadvantage.
Good luck!
A must have for designers! August 12, 2008

This book is a must have for designers! Eismann makes masking an easy task and offers some really great tips on how to mask difficult objects such as veils, water bottles, glass, and translucent fabrics. And of course HAIR!
I have other photoshop books, but this one explains it the best.

Ms. Eismann hits all the areas necessary for one to become proficient in masking and compositing. She is recommended by all the current photoshop gurus for a very good reason. This book is an excellent primer and also delves into advanced techniques. It's a great resource book and I've got post-it flags everywhere. You can't go wrong with this book.
