"This guide is a "back-to-basics" look at Photoshop aimed at one goal--turning good scans into great end-use images."

"Industrial-strength, indeed--this book is strong enough to use as a surfboard. It's tough on the core, everyday tasks that artists and designers face, like how to handle color correction, quality scanning techniques, prepress issues, selection techniques and a whole lot more. The chapter on manipulating image tone is a must-read. With over 700 pages, it may not be your first choice when you're soaking up rays on the beach, but it may well be the first book you reach for when working in the program."
