Graphic designers are very keyboard focused when they are working at the computer. Using menus for commands is too slow and interrupts the creative flow of their work. Keystrokes also offer a control... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Like the subhead on the cover says, "When in doubt, hold down the entire left hand side of the keyboard,..." a joke that only a true Photoshop aficionado will chuckle at. Though Photoshop has migrated beyond the last version this tome covered (5.5), the book was indispensible. A great bargain, and organized with look-up speed in mind.
If your boss thought you were productive before...

wait until you get this great reference. This is a must-have for every web/graphic designer's library. It contains the shortcuts for versions 4 through 5.5 (including ImageReady), both MAC AND PC platforms. This isn't a small pamphlet either, it's over 350 pages, well worth the price. With rumors of PhotoShop 6 floating about, regarding new features and some older features possibly being left out, things may change, although, those of you who are true "hard-core" PhotoShop-pers who haven't touched an upgrade since version 4, should have nothing to worry about.

This new books by Michael Ninness is very welcome. I was begging for a book like that for years and now it is here. The books is very well done, clear and easy to use. For someone like me that are using Photoshop for more than 8 years, this book is all i was missing: A place to find all shortcuts availables. In my opinions every serious Photoshop users must buy this book! I keep this book with me all the times and i'm sure in a few weeks and months my productivity with this software will increase a lot. Now, Michael... you won't be the only Photoshop Guru anymore! ;-)
