The Art of Photoshop CS2 Edition

Sams
[Have not yet read it but it has been highly recommended. It is on my “Wanted” list.]
It has been highly recommended: “one for pure pleasure and beauty”. It certainly looks very interesting judging from the description. This is what Amazon says about it: “Look over the designer’s shoulder while learning advanced Photoshop CS2 techniques with vivid, full-color photography. Inspire your design skills with award winning design and layout for the visual artist. Learn the new tools and techniques of Photoshop CS2. […] The Art of Photoshop” teaches a process for creative exploration; it teaches people how to make digital art that follows their own sensibility and aesthetics.”
