Dear Mr. Ken Milburn! Forgive me for my bad English. I'd like to express you my delight and gratitude for your book "Photoshop 4.The professional Guide to creating Advanced Special Effects". In the city, where I live (Tashkent, Uzbekistan) no courses or teachers by Photoshop. I began to study this program independently leaning on available books (Deke McClelland, Adele and Seth Greenberg). This books instilled in to me despondent concerning my abilities and I decided that I simply dunce and never again open this program. But your book instilled hope for me. And I didn't mistaken. Language your book is available and laconic. Exercises which you offer simply splendid!!! Special thanks for acquaintance with demo versions and filters. You give me a possibility to feel myself a professional even on one minutes, though I common amateur. Thanks a lot for your excellent work! Good luck! Respectfully yours, Julia Kalendareva [e-mail] October 31,1998

While I have years of experience with DTP, I only recently took up Photoshop. Frankly, it isn't what _I_ would call intuitive!

Last week I had to do an info-graphic to accompany an article I had written. I needed to cut an image out of its background, soften the edges, and add a realistic shadow. Oh yeah, I needed three different images, too.

After a half hour of unsuccessful fiddling around I remembered this book. I found the right section, and it told me what to do in clear, quick prose. AND...it worked!

Ken Milburn and Mary Jane Mara have done a great job on this book, and a great service to the community. I can tell by the stuff I don't understand yet, that there are tips that willl appeal to more experienced users, too.

Bottom line? If you use Photoshop, you need this book.
