If you are looking for serious answers to the common questions we all make in the prepress and photography crazy world about compression, targeting, scanns, curves, levels, CMYK versus RGB; RGB, CMYK,INK setups, etc.This is your book. Everything is fully covered here. I'm waiting my new Real world PSD 5 edition while I drink my coffe and process all I have learned.

Bruce and David have wisely concentrated on the practical aspects of photo enhancement. It's a book for those who want to squeeze the last ouch of detail from a photo (i.e. if you ever aspire to work for National Geographic), and it'll not be for you if you're looking to dazzle with special effects. Require reading for working pros.

The more you learn about Photoshop, the more you will see the richness of what this book has to offer. Beginners would be advised to use a more basic text rather than trying to start with this book. However, as you become more familiar with Photoshop during your learning process, you will quickly see the usefulness of this book's many tips and suggestions. The authors of this book have clearly come by their expertise through extensive professional use of this software. this is not a "wow" book. The information provided seems to be geared more to everyday practical applications.
