It explains how to use Photoshop's painting, drawing, type, and selection tools and gives extra hints on pitfalls to watch for and shortcuts to use. Once you've grasped the basics of the package, you can move on to the book's sections on color theory; layers; actions; output for Web, multimedia, and digital cameras; and digital watermarking. Beginning and casual Photoshop users who want to improve their understanding of the product will find this to be a basic but thorough guide to the essential and advanced features.
