Keep in mind that this edition is now dated although still filled with useful information. Although I got a lot out of this book, I would likely look for a more up-to-date book (by another author if one from Katrin is not available) to use with Adobe CS5 and higher.If you're a professional photographer (or aspire to be one), get this book.Unlike other books, this book skips the worthless cheezy stuff that professionalsaren't likely to be interested in to begin with. This book focuses on tasks thatphotographers and graphic professionals are most likely to need during post processing.This book is simply a "must have" for those who want to get straight to the point,without having to flip through hundreds of pages of worthless fluff, just to get themost out of Photoshop. The book is easy to follow & well written.#1 If you want to be able to make great composites, work with layers and masks, etc.,on the level of someone who's trying to create a composite for a cover of say RedbookMagazine, to be imported into InDesign or Illustrator for polishing- then THIS is yourbook!#2 If you want to remove portraits from horrible backgrounds, and engage in the commonadvance post processing procedures common to professional photography, then THIS is yourbook!#3 If you just got a digital camera last week, and you're just now trying to figure outhow to work Photoshop- Get THIS book and immerse yourself. To be honest, anything lessprobably a gross waste of your time in the long run as this book focuses on the tasksthat are most needed for taking your photos to a professional level.Lastly, it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to regret purchasing this book if you make even amodest attempt at learning the material. Like anybook, the single most reason peopledon't learn software is because they don't READ the material. People want stuff spoonfed to them. Hint: If you make money from photography, and you don't know how to dothe things in this book, but your competitors do.. you will be at a HUGE disadvantage.Good luck! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Photoshop Book of Your Dreams *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2005* Learning to understand and use masks can be one of the most daunting, confusing and overwhelming challenges in Photoshop.Katrin Eismann, one of the leading Photoshop experts in the world has, (in addition to traveling the globe to conduct sell-out Photoshop lectures and workshops), written the most comprehensive five hundred and nineteen page book on the subject of masking and compositing that one could ever imagine.Of course this is not just a book about masking and compositing. Rather, it represents the very personal vision that Katrin demonstrates in everyaspect of her life. This extremely talented photographer, photoretoucher, educator and writer basically takes you by the hand and clearly explains everything you need to know about how this astonishing, complex, ever-changing photographic software program works. Along the way she shares her thoughts about creativity, teaches you about digital photography and cameras and shooting Camera Raw, and covers every other Photoshop topic you will need to know more about.Katrin also makes you laugh. She generously concludes all of the chapters with "closing thoughts" that sound like they were written for you personally, and includes notes and tips on virtually every page that anticipate every question you could possibly have. Where else could you find a Chapter heading like: "Masks Are Your Friends" or find a Photoshop author who offers advice on "Overcoming a Creative Block"?In this latest of her highly regarded books, Katrin has done a brilliant job simplifying an enormous amount of information. She prepares the reader well for approaching the sophisticated Photoshop techniques provided throughout the book. The hundreds of color photographs and graphics provide perfect examples for every lesson and the images can be quickly downloaded for the reader's use from Katrin's extremely informative website.This book is a treasure. I study it night and day, frequently show examples from it to my Graphic Design students at Parsons School of Design, and even bought a second copy so I could cut it up and carry separate chapters aound with me.If you really want to learn Photoshop, you will find this to be the book of your dreams! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Masters Course in Photoshop *by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2008* Katrin Eismann is an expert and she seeks to make you an expert in her book. It is a wealth of information. You'll learn how photoshop does some things and how you can make photoshop do some things that aren't evident in the commands and help files. I recommend reading the book then keeping it around as a reference to be used as situations or ideas arise. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12642616-photoshop-masking-and-compositing-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12642616-photoshop-masking-and-compositing-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
