- great book on how to use photoshops layers
So far this book has taught me how to use photoshops feature layers, and has done so easily... it is easy to read and easy to use...
Rating: - Justified acclaim!
I bought this because of the many good reviews. Having received it, I was initially a bit skeptical - it is fairly thin, with most pages being divided into two, with a couple of photos and a small amount of text. It looked somehow insubstantial. Upon starting to work through it, however, its power became apparent. It covers what must be practically everything that you can do with layers, revealing some amazing techniques that require very little effort. Easy to follow and delivers the promised results! ...

Rating: - The complete Photoshop's most powerful feature Layers
Mr. Matt Kloskowski has done a superb job in writing this book. I understood everything and have the confidence of having a solid understanding of how to use layers. I am on last chapter and as soon as I finish it, I will read this book a second time so that I can say that in essence I do have a mastery of the layers. Then, it is just a matter of using the knowledge Mr. Kloskowski imparts in the book. Only thing, I wish I could get in touch with him.
