This is the Safari online edition of the printed book.

Long established as a must-have guide for Photoshop users upgrading to the newest version, Up to Speed goes right to the heart of Photoshop CS4 what has changed, what is new, and how you can get the most out of the features as quickly as possible. Rather than sift through hundreds of pages detailing every last Photoshop feature and function (both old and new), you can go directly to the new features that interest you the most and get the explanations you desire in the 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 have been clamoring for, in exactly the depth they demand. After reading this book even if you've been using CS4 for awhile don't be surprised to hear yourself say, I didn't know CS4 did that! In addition to learning the new features in no time flat, a welcome side effect of learning from Ben is that you can expect to become a better, faster and more efficient Photoshop user, and few things are more fun than becoming better at Photoshop!

... and get this book if you're upgrading to Adobe Photoshop CS4! Ben Willmore covers ONLY the "new stuff" in his Up To Speed series and this book is well worth its price. It's not a general Photoshop book - there are certainly plenty of those. Rather, this one is for learning how to make the best use of Adobe's latest "enhancements". Highly recommended!

Very difficult read. The book lives up to its description but it doesn't flow very well. Don't even think about trying to read it without having PhotoShop open and ready to refer to.

In past years I had ordered the complete books and their updates but I found it was a waste of time redoing everything I had done before. So I decided to do a shortcut which turned out to be very productive and actually gave me very precise info. This book is a must for those who need to keep up but to keep up with the most precise information and this book fills the bill. I strongly endorse this book and you are not going to go wrong by purchasing it.

Ben always leads the way in getting started in learning what you need to know about the changes in Photoshop. Even if you just use it to find "wheres my stuff" section which shows you where Adobe moved your favorite tools!
