Editorial Review:

Product Description:
When Photoshop guru Matt Kloskowski was asked why he wrote this book, he replied, “It’s simple: I wanted to write the Photoshop book that I wished was around when I was learning Photoshop”. You’ve always known that layers were the key to understanding Photoshop, and now you have a resource to show you exactly how. With Matt’s clear, easy-to-follow, and concise writing style you’ll learn about:
  • Working with and managing multiple layers
  • Building multiple layered images
  • Blending layers together
  • Exactly which of the 25+ Blend Modes you need to worry about (there’s just a few)
  • Layer Masking and just how easy it is.
  • Using layers to enhance and retouch your photos
  • All of the tips and tricks that make using layers a breeze.
If you want to finally understand layers in Photoshop, this book is the one you’ve been waiting for.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This Is The One!
Having studied three other books on creating and using Photoshop layers and masks - and finding them lacking - I stumbled upon this one when searching through Amazon's inventory. It was a revelation.

If you read this book and do the clearly illustrated and explained exercises, you will have a working knowledge of layers and masks (and various other postprocessing aids). No other book is needed.

Since I learn best by writing my own tutorials, that's what I did here (using Word), so that I would not have to refer to the book each time I wanted to employ some routine I had learned from studying the book. I would strongly advise you to do the same. The mere writing of the tutorial burns the knowledge into your mind and tests your true understanding of what you read.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Handle reference manual on Photoshop Layers
I found the manual very helpful in tips on what ever version of Photoshop software you own. I would recommend this manual on how to add special effects to layers.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Quick and easy to read
Got the book this week and almost finished yesterday and today I was able to fix a picture and posted it online.
I would say that this book is pretty easy to read and follow


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Information.
I was new to Photoshop and had used Capture NX and some other basic editing programs before getting CS3 and I was a bit overwhelmed. The whole layers thing is so fundemental to Photoshop, and not that intuitive. This book helped clarify things and direct my workflow for digital images. Not revolutionary, but easy to use and offers some good step-by-step work alongs. In retrospect, a lot of the information is available for free at various websites, but at least you have it at your fingertips in this book.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great book
i'm new to photoshop; this book is fairly easy to understand and learn some of the important moves nessecary in Photoshop.
this is a good reference book.
