Ben Willmore style-intuitive, crystal clear, and in-depth. By focusing on a single topic-what's new in this version-the award-winning author
provides precisely what experienced Photoshop users like yourself have been clamoring for, in exactly the depth you demand. Including
just enough information about older features to make the new ones understandable, Ben shows you not only which buttons to push but
why.
