This book is alright if you want to learn how to use 5 different programs (or more) to do web graphics. I am trying to learn Photoshop, only 20-30% of the information is for PS the is for Paintshoppro, and other programs. Therefore at most only 30% of the book is of any interest to me. I much preferred "Photoshop 5 for the Web." If you want to learn neat tricks then do what I did, just search for tutorials on the web designed for your graphics program and you are sure to get better information designed specifically for your application. This book is definitely not worth the money.

This book needs updating! Most of the Programs/Applications used has been updated once and probably twice. But if you're still in the IE 3.0 era, this book is probably very good.

I bought this solely for reference to graphics done with Paint Shop Pro, but I have to admit, I have found many more uses with it. I am certified in Web Graphics, but still found more little secrets and tricks! It is a great reference for everyone from beginner to advanced. I have bought several of the "Bible" books, and I think the "Bible" series of books is a great investment, especially the Web Graphics... and I recommend it to everyone!

Overall a great book. Worth the money alone with all the great web sites he gives for graphic discovery, graphic reductions and graphic creations. Includes numerous how to's that are great for the beginner but can probably be ignored by the advanced web person. Only drawback is that this book is made mainly for Windows and all the how-to's are based on Windows. Provides common sense explanations for confusing topics and buzzwords. I would recommend this book to anyone with interest in this field but be prepared to ignore 25% of the pages if you are an advanced Web designer.
