The only book focused exclusively on the new features in Photoshop CS2

If you have references to Photoshop CS or are expert in it, and are moving to Photoshop CS2, this it the book you want. It covers everything new in CS2 including the new Bridge application.

Also, consider uptospeed Photoshop CS2 if you are trying to decide whether to upgrade to CS2. Read about the new features, then decide.

The Vanishing Point filter is just one of the new items covered, but it has many more uses than I expected.

One example shows the Stamping tool being used to clone bricks at the bottom of an image to cover up birds further back in the image. It works because the stamping tool, with the vanishing point filter, automatically scaled the bricks to the correct size for the new location.

uptospeed Photoshop CS2 does not just tell you what the new features in Photoshop CS2 are, it tells you how to use them and why.

In the discussion of what Variables are, how to use them, and why you will want to use them, Ben Willmore even includes tips for naming the Variables.

Ben Willmore is the author of the highly recommended - "From Mystery to Mastery," also published by Peachpit Press.
