The ultimate source of information for creating montages, this book taught me more in a few weeks than I've learned all year studying tutorials on the web. Steve Caplin's tutorials are short, powerful, and concise. Though this book just covers montages, there are lessons here that can be applied to any kind of Photoshop work. I'm a self-taught artist and software engineer, so I buy a lot of how-to books. This is the best one I've found and a must-buy for anyone looking to improve their Photoshop skills. FYI, buy the hard copy and not the Kindle version. The publisher did this book no favors on the Kindle.
