Many Photoshop users don't need to know every obscure capability within the program. So to this ends, the book concentrates on explaining what it considers to be the core, most used features of Photoshop. Ideally, it addresses all your needs, if you just use Photoshop for your personal needs, as opposed to being a professional designer.

So rather than thumbing through a thousand page manual, you can try using this book. The editing methods are simple - for rescaling, say, or tweaking the colour maps to enhance some colours.

The other useful feature is the extensive list of common problems encountered by users. Each is matched with a straightforward solution. It's worth going through these to see if one addresses your situation.

The Element K Journals Creative Team's Get The Image You Want: Essential Photoshop Editing Techniques comes from a team of writers, editors and designers who together publish a number of monthly how-to journals covering everything from programming to computers in business. Since image editing is a major - and complex - feature of Photoshop, it's fitting that an entire book be devoted to the easiest ways to solve common image-editing problems. From solving poor lighting and color inaccuracy problems to restoring missing image details and saving images with exposure problems, Get The Image You Want comes packed with color examples and solutions. A 'must' for any Photoshop owner, this should've come packed in the box!
