Looks great! Can't wait to save up and buy my copy.

looks pretty cheap…but I think I'll wait till I see some good reviews from you guys

[MystaMax]

Sounds good, and looks nice!

I'm interested in knowing if this book helps you learn slicing techniques with photoshop? I typically find articles and tutorials around the 'net incomplete.

IMO, Egor said it best in this post:

Design with Photoshop specifically for the web, however, is what I feel most of those books lack in. I'm talking about issues like the process of taking a designed layout from Photoshop into html, image optimisation, the limits of what's actually possible, selection colors, not overdoing with bevel and emboss, etc.

The first 3 sections of Chapter 8, Designing a Web Site, look like their along the lines of what I'm looking for:

• Designing a Web Site using Photoshop
• Experimenting with Different Layouts
• Creating Web-Optimized Images from a Photoshop Site Mockup

Although there are plenty of tutorials for creating all types of images for the web on the 'net, I like the idea of having reference material closely available . If so, I'll definately grab this!

awesome book I like all the Corrie stuff

[mPeror]

Looks like the book i've been waiting for to develope my graphic design skills.

How come the book has a different cover at amazon though?

How come the book has a different cover at amazon though?

That is a placeholder cover which we distributed before the book was complete. I'll make sure the relevant people know about this.

Hence the sitepoint logo in the top right of the cover

Wow, i thought this thread was a highlighted forum discussion because it was an interesting topic.

I have a copy of this book, and while I haven't gotten all the way through it yet, I will say that this is one of the most beautifully printed books I've seen. Full color cover-to-cover. It's got some great stuff in it, for all levels, though I'd say that it will be most helpful for beginner to intermediate level users.

My favorite chapter: Advanced Photoshop Techniques, which goes over batch processes and actions.

[Iimitk]

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm definetly a buyer of this book. Excellent job Corrie & PS staff.

[Blue Monkey]

mmj, can you give me an idea of what the video is about (something more specific than Seamless Photographic Backgrounds With Photoshop - that means very little to me), and how long it lasts.

Cheers

[mastersite]

awsome will take a look at this, thanks again sitepoint!

[stymiee]

For a graphics newb like me this book is a godsend.

[FreelanceITs]

I'm looking forward to this... sure its released already.

[wiskers]

A whole chapter about creating "shiny" buttons is a little excessive..

[MPG]

This is actually a great price for both copies. I have never purchased an SP book before and this might just be the first one!

[The New Guy]

For a graphics newb like me this book is a godsend.

[Munky]

Looks like I found the next SitePoint book I'm going to buy! I need some major help with my graphics. Trying to figure things out on my own isn't working very well for me.

[rateit05]

i ordered my copy like a week ago. Cant wait to recieve it

[Datura]

It does look great. The thing with books is always the same though: there are often many things you know already, but if you find one important new instruction or idea, the book is worth every $ -- Datura

[thelittleman]

Wonderful, I have purchased 3 other site point book, which took some time to reach me (not site point fault). I live in africa and post takes forever to get here. Now I can purchase books in PDF format.

[mattymcg]

A whole chapter about creating "shiny" buttons is a little excessive..

The buttons chapter is about more than just "shiny" buttons. The chapter actually shows how to create a whole range of different interface elements, and the techniques introduced can be applied to a lot of other elements.

But don't take my word for it, go see for yourself -- it's one of the chapters included in the sample PDF download...

Got the book. IT's great. I've been using Foreworks for a while now, and I felt I needed to switch to Photoshop. Books helping me a lot with getting the hang of Photoshop Basics.

Looks great cant wait to buy it.
