Concise and precise guide to Photoshop

Photoshop books abound, with 'how to's' through tutorials but this is different. It actually explains all those terms that even the most erudite writer sometimes assumes that we all know. That is not to say that this is a book for absolute beginners though. The ingenous listing style means that like and similar terms are grouped so a reader can expand their knowledge easily. It is also a book to read (and how many encyclopediae can say that) as it is intriuging to discover new terms, new techniques and more by reading sequentially. One reviewer has pointed out errors in classification but, as someone involved in indexing in the past I'm surprised that a first edition is so accurate. Enjoy this and the companion by the same author, Digital Photographer's Pocket Encyclopedia.
