This book contains 113 great, easy to follow recipes to improve your photos. It takes you through the process, step by step, along with giving you many useful tips as you go. I’ve looked at a lot of other books, and they all fall short. Barry does a nice job of presenting the book.


Photoshop is a great program, with one exception; you need to work with the program day after day, to keep up on all the tricks and the work flow. Barry does a nice job taking you step by step through the whole process, start to finish. He is very thorough on many of the things you may want to do in Photoshop.


One thing I felt he could have spent some more time on was layers, otherwise I thought the book was very easy to read and the author made it very easy to follow along.
Nice job Barry.
