Medium to advanced detailed instructions for photographer's photoshop but the book is more a detailed listing of all the software's capabilities than a real personalized tips&tricks from a subjective perspective, you won't learn anything really new here that you can't learn going through photoshop's help section...probably a good place to start but not sure it is worth its price....

Martin Evening's books on Photoshop and Lightroom are the best books available on the Adobe programs. If you have these on your shelf you will have NO need for any other books on the subjects. Period.

Un manuale incredibilmente dettagliato e completo. Probabilmente il migliore in assoluto per chi vuole imparare l'uso di Photoshop.
Ogni singola pagina contiene importanti nozioni sull'uso del programma e sulla fotografia.
Lo consiglio.
