Great tips, good podcast companion

The first three chapters can be skipped if you are an experienced PhotoShop user - really basic stuff. After that, there are some great hints, tips, and techniques. Great companion to his PodCast series.

Layers

I debated buying this book as I have worked with Photoshop for several years and thought I had a pretty good grasp of the layers idea. I decided to get it anyway and found so many tips and shortcuts that I hadn't been aware of, that I was glad I had made the choice to purchase it. Matt teaches in an informal and easy manner which makes it easy to learn and understand what he is doing in each step.Having the downloaded images that he used to work with made it simple to follow his instructions.

As Always the NAPP groups shines through

Matt has done a wonderful job with this effort. This is a complete guide to a very powerful Photoshop feature indeed.
Highly recommended.

Matt Kloskowski knows Photoshop!

Matt Kloskowski is one of my favorite presenters at Photoshop World and I assumed this book would be a great way to learn the features of Layers and Matt delivers.
Over the past two years I've attended Photoshop World and always enjoyed Matt's classes. The Complete Guide to Photoshop Most Power Features Layers is a great way to understand the power and features of Layers, and the format is similar to Matt's presentations that are standing room only at Photoshop World classes.
I started reading and following Matt's lessons in the morning and didn't stop until the last chapter in the afternoon. Matt's relaxed and simple way of teaching Photoshop comes through in every chapter. All of the sample images are included on a CD with the book which helps you follow along with every step.
Some of the files on the CD have different file names than listed in the book, that's the only reason why this didn't get 5 stars.

Good, solid text

I'll bet you were excited to find a book that would be free of Scott Kelby's juvenile sense of humor. Confess! Well, think again. This Kelby wanna-be wastes almost as many trees with silly comments. However, I will admit, it's a good, all-around text that concentrates on one thing: layers. It's a very well-written book with easy to follow directions for the beginner...and the more advanced user (who won't admit to reading it).
