Rating: - Simple and well paced. Excellent!
I have tried a few PS books and some are ok but you come away forgetting a lot because the basics haven't been absorbed. Layers are THE basic skill you need to do good work in PS. This book builds up your knowledge slowly so you understand layers not just how to do a particular "trick". Excellent.

Rating: - Layers. Made Easy.
I've used Photoshop for a number of years now, and even teach it on a regular basis, but this book blew me away! It wasn't so much that all the information in it was new to me (though a lot was), but the way that Matt explains things is fantastic!

I think I managed to get as far as about page 10 before I went "wow, that's brilliant!".

Highly recommended. Thanks Matt!

I am ready to explore the full might of Layers with confidence both in Photoshop 7 as well as CS3

Things start off well enough with an overview of exactly what a "layer" is, but then jumps straight into creating "gimicks". There are plenty of better books on the market for creating gimicks in photoshop ... Read More

Rating: - Layers - for the rest of us
I do a fair amount of PhotoShop Image Editing, and tho' I say it myself, have become reasonably proficient at it, but one aspect I haven't really come to grips with, and which I know to be a failing, is understanding how to use Layers. Now I do know what Layers are, and I also understand that there's something quite magical about using Layers in PS, but somehow, although I do indeed understand the "Why", I've never really got to grips with the "How To". Then Amazon, as they do, mailed me about Matt Kloskowski's ... Read More
