As the only book focused exclusively on the new features in Photoshop CS2, this is the guide that will get you up to speed the fastest! Rather than sift through hundreds of pages detailing every last Photoshop feature and function, you can go directly to the new features that interest you most and get the explanations you desire in classic 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.

• In-depth coverage of every new feature in Photoshop CS2, including full chapters dedicated to Bridge, Variables, Smart Objects, the new Layers Palette, Camera Raw and HDR Imaging.

• Quickly learn what' s been moved, renamed or eliminated from the previous version, making your transition to CS2 as painless as possible.

• If you have a working knowledge of Photoshop CS, this book is for you. It’s designed to get you up to speed with the new features in the most efficient and useful way possible. Easy to read for upper-level beginners through advanced, but not designed for absolute beginners.
