This book is a major upgrade leap for somebody who is using Photoshop CS2. With this upgrade it helps you to actually learn the newer tools. You can expect in depth discussions in the book about the new capabilities of CS5. The book subtitles itself 100 Professional Techniques. I think a better subtitle would be 100 Professional Graphic Design Techniques because this book helps you to create your own web or graphic design. If you create web sites and need quick how-to instructions for special effects like grunge and retro halftones, this is the workbook for you. I tried several of the lessons myself. I learned new ways to do things with tools I had never explored. I would not recommend this book for either a raw Photoshop beginner or a seasoned Graphic Design professional, but someone with an intermediate level would benefit greatly by many of the techniques showcased in this book.
