Photoshop 6 Down and Dirty Tricks
by Scott Kelby

Scott Kelby is a genius; he knows Photoshop like a vampire knows a neck, and he attacks his subject with the same gusto.Photoshop 6: Down and Dirt Tricks's wisdom gushes out like water from a fire hydrant. It's great. The best part about the book is it's calm personality... Kelby doesn't ever put on airs. Rather, he is a humble master, offering the most amazing tricks and suggestions one would never think of, and doing so in a tight, well-written manner. This book reads so well that it may actually make the reader want to subscribe to Kelby's Photoshop User magazine just to read more of his stuff.

This is not a beginner's book: don't pick it up if you're just learning Photoshop or aren't quite comfortable with its terms. There is no hand holding here, no tedious explanations or goofy icons--just comprehensive knowledge conveyed in an appropriate and easy-to-follow manner.

Down and Dirty Tricks's cover price may pinch you, however, but the information is worth it--even without the illustrations on nearly every page. This book contains well-presented information, and will make you a better computer user for it. One couldn't recommend it more strongly

Reviewer: winter_jon@hotmail.com from England.
I have been using Photoshop for years and am always interested in new tutorials/books which can help me. This book is by far, the best one I've owned as it's just shows you how to create those stunning effect you've previously seen and been amazed by. If you know Photoshop fairly well and just want to learn new tricks, BUY THIS BOOK NOW!

My only moan is that I wish the book was double the thickness with loads more tutorials. I know, I can't have everything....worth a try though! Looking forward to the next book?!

Great no-nonsense tips and tricks for Photoshop 7 March, 2001
Reviewer: bimmer@hive-cons.dk from Denmark
This book will NOT teach you to use every tool in photoshop. This book will NOT give a thorough lecture on image-formats, printing-techniques, memory-optimization, etc. This book WILL present you with a huge amount of great easily accessible tips and tricks to use immediately in your copy of Photoshop. List of cool facts about this book: Its full-colour! The tips are written as short precise step-by-step instructions. Every single page contains extra quick-tips to speed up your work. The author keeps all the humorous notations to the foreword of each chapter and only concentrate on the essentials within the chapter. BUY IT!
