Great book - wrong title
This is one of, if not the best book I have in my library of Photoshop books. Tim Grey does an incredible job of not only taking you through the sequences of capture to output, but he makes it easy to understand what it is you are doing. He should have titled this book "Understanding Photoshop CS2". With this book and Scott Kelby's "Photoshop CS2 For Photographers" you have just about all the info you need for basic to advanced work.
Missing Pages
