The Adobe Photoshop Layers Book: Harnessing Photoshop's Most Powerful Tool, covers Photoshop CS3:

Review

Praise for author's previous books:

Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 4

Review 1:

'As a "collectionner" of the best Photoshop books on the market I must recommend this excellent book from Richard Lynch to all the digital photographers among us.Other reviewers explained the content of the book in detail so I won't do the same,I can only agree their comments!

This book is not for beginners, but if you want to understand how "digital photography" sees the real world and how a camera or a scanner tranlate all what you see in the digital format then this book is for you.

Lynch is a real PRO and takes the patience to explain ALL the hidden secrets behind this tremendous Adobe's software.

This is a cheap investment for YEARS believe me; you'll learn on your own pace the multiple facets of "seeing images" like a photographer and by following the exercises and explanations of the 11 chapters (take your time to re-read from time to time and practice,practice...)you NEVER take photos the same way you did before!

The greatest bonus is the companion cd with all the hidden tools(above 100 and the images used in the book).

Richard Lynch has given us an enormous homework to do but it's worth more than any training course that costs you a hundred of bucks!

Terrific,awesome,well explained,I can't find words enough to recommend this book.'

Review 2:

'the book is full of invaluable advice. Workflow, separations, masking... The combination of Elements 4 with the book and tools covers all my expectations for a dedicated amateur. And yes, I like shooting raw, taking advantage of 16 bits,black and white... and I have still much too learn from the book!'

Review 3:

'It's an advanced book that does provide you with information about hidden features, undocumented capabilities, and things you never thought of doing with Photoshop Elements 4. As the program itself is based on Photoshop CS, there are lots of things to reveal, and Lynch does a good job of presenting them in a clear and concise way.'

Praise for Hidden Power of PS Elements 3:

Review 1: 'This book provides great information on digital color reproduction and alteration.The book has many good examples for teaching techniques for digital photographic enhancement using Elements 3. The plug-ins are great! Well worth the $$ Best book I,ve found on digital imagery and Elements 3.'

Review 2: 'I wish I could give more stars to this book....The book is written almost like a text book. I found the lessons to be deep, but the text to be very well written and very concise. Mr. Lynch writes to teach and not to show how much he knows (although this is quite evident by reading the book). The book is not just how to use the tools supplied in Photoshop Elements 3, but is about obtaining a deep understanding of the makeup of an image and how to manipulate the image with the knowledge.

Extremely impressive. At this price, it really is a gift from Richard Lynch! --Praise for author's previous books

Praxiswissen Flash CS3:

Sascha Kersken, “Praxiswissen Flash CS3″

O’Reilly 2007 | ISBN: 389721721X | 448 pages | PDF | 71,1 MB

textico.de

Praxiswissen Flash CS3 stammt zum einen von Sascha Kersken und gehört zum anderen zur “O’Reillys basics”-Reihe — also eine perfekte Grundlage für Flash-Interessierte, die einen praxisnahen Einstieg ohne Vorkenntnisse suchen und sich dabei gern auf die Profis verlassen.

Sascha Kersken ist schon ein bisschen ein Phänomen: während Vielschreiberei zu einem Thema ja bei einigen IT-Fachautoren die Regel ist, beschränkt sich Kersken beim Vielschreiben nicht auf einen Ausschnitt der Computerwelt, sondern nimmt das ganze Bild mit und nennt Bücher wie Praktischer Einstieg in MySQL mit PHP, Praxiswissen Ruby und Apache, SuSE oder ein IT-Handbuch für Fachinformatiker aus seiner Feder sein Eigen.

Praxiswissen Flash CS3 ist typisch für Kersken: klar, deutlich, verständlich auf den Punkt gebracht, ganz nach dem Motto “Ich weiß was ich (schreiben) will”. Dass dann das Buch noch mit DVD samt komplettem Material des Praxisworkshops, Zusatzmaterial zu ActionScript 1/2 und einer 30-Tage-Testversion von Adobe Flash CS3 Professionell mitkommt, macht das runde Einsteigerpaket noch zusätzlich attraktiv.

Vorwissen ist keines gefragt, außer vielleicht ein bisschen Computer Know-How. Ansonsten liefert Kersken mit Praxiswissen Flash CS3 einen kompletten Einstieg in Flash CS3 vom Zeichnen und Animieren über die Einbettung von Medien, Flash-Filmen bis hin zu ActionScript 3.0, dessen Objektorientierung, Formulare und der Interaktion mit Webserver-Anwendungen. Wer nicht weiß, wo er bei Flash anfangen soll: Sascha Kersken fragen!

Thanks to the original uploader!
