Guide Review - Photoshop for the Web by Mikkel Aaland
Photoshop was not originally intended for use on Web graphics, but now many Web developers and designers swear by it. New designers and developers will love this book as it covers all the tips and tricks the pros use to make images smaller and still have high quality and effect. It also covers other issues of Web design and how Photoshop can be used to assist you. If you already use Photoshop, but only have the rudiments down, then this is the perfect book for you. It is also good for people who have just started to learn Photoshop and want to use it for their Web images.
