This book was wonderful! It contained all the info and tips to get me pointed in the right direction. I was small time Photoshop user around version 4 but hadn't had to use the 5.x series until my recent move to webmaster at my company.
This book concisely covered all topics I was looking for [using photoshop for the web, and getting familiar with the photoshop interface].
The only thing I would have suggested to make this book even better would have been a CD with sample images and the end results as described in the book. It would have enabled the enduser not familiar with graphic design to get a more visual handle on what the image manipulation commands he/she is performing are for.
Great book though! Another good O'Reilly purchase!
