 Book - Disappointing June 30, 2008

I went thru the whole book, and walk away with one tip. I felt like eveything else was already mentioned by someone else or printed by someone else. Save your money and search the net for tips and ideas.
 Rock on Layers!!! June 25, 2008
This is an excellent book by Matt Kloskowski. I had the privilege of attending the Photoshop Conference in Orlando Florida, April of this year and it was awesome! I bought the Layers book there and I'm not sorry I did. It has truly opened my eyes even more to the creativity one can achieve working with layers. Thanks Matt for a greater understanding. I recommend this book. Peace all.

I am a new 3D animator who is coming to grasps with the unlimited power of Photoshop. I was really confused with alot of advanced layering techniques, and this book saved me. Really well written, and I would say a must for any beginner animators, and digital artists. The author knows this stuff inside and out and it shows. Very easy to follow along and alot better than some of the other layers books out there. ( I know since I work with books for a living ! ) Plus you can download all of the images used in the book, and it saves the money from going up due to a disk being inserted in the book ! Very well done.
Only good for beginners June 23, 2008

Nice book for beginners only. Matt just can't be Scott Kelby. Why copycat him? He tryes hard making the same kind of jokes... The book has some mistakes. I.E. chapter 6 boosting specific colors... we're working in the water and he ended up talking about an ivy! Some chapters he doesn't mention some steps which can get confuse beginners. The downloadable "company pictures" are a joke, too low resolution and one of them is already corrected!

This book is well laid out and easy to read and learn from, making learning fun rather than a chore. Design of the book is well done, with a light sense of humour thrown in. Thanks Matt, looking forward to reading other material from you.
