Photoshop Shop Manual: Tools and Techniques is a quick and comprehensive reference of the tools and techniques of Photoshop, covering up to and through version 6. In addition to outlining the correct use of a particular tool, each element focuses on when and why readers need to use the tool, its common problems and how to avoid them. Photoshop Shop Manual: Tools and Techniques is the most focused and production-oriented book on the market written from the trenches. O'Quinn is a veteran who has suffered the indignities of a thousand hard-earned lessons. His focus isn't "what should go right" but rather "how to avoid what goes wrong."
