Product Description:
When Photoshop guru Matt Kloskowski was asked why he wrote this book, he replied, “It’s simple: I wanted to write the Photoshop book that I wished was around when I was learning Photoshop”. You’ve always known that layers were the key to understanding Photoshop, and now you have a resource to show you exactly how. With Matt’s clear, easy-to-follow, and concise writing style you’ll learn about:
- Working with and managing multiple layers
- Building multiple layered images
- Blending layers together
- Exactly which of the 25+ Blend Modes you need to worry about (there’s just a few)
- Layer Masking and just how easy it is.
- Using layers to enhance and retouch your photos
- All of the tips and tricks that make using layers a breeze.
If you want to finally understand layers in Photoshop, this book is the one you’ve been waiting for.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Terrific
Terrific book geared for precisely they way I like to learn; Matt has written a beautifully illustrated book that takes one through the layers learning process in a very methodical sensible approach. He says what needs to be said in as few words as possible; yet he leaves nothing to the imagine either.
No jokes; just straight forward and to the point; it is exactly what I was looking for and I only wish I had found this ten years ago. (I know it was not available ten years ago)

Rating: - Comprehensive, enjoyable, will stand the test of time
Layers, The complete guide to Photoshop's most powerful feature by Matt Kloskowski is described by the author as "the Photoshop book he wishes were available when he was trying to learn Photoshop."I couldn't agree more.I see others say that there is nothing new here, I disagree.The manner in which the material is presented is better and easier to follow than many other guides that have preceded it.
It is 255 pages long and written so as to guide you from start to finish assuming ... Read More
Rating: - Down and Dirty...
Those folks longing for the next "Down & Dirty" book from Scott, it does not appear it will happen. Bummer. But this is the next best thing from Matt in the same walk and talk. Creative recipe how-to's and easy to understand on the subject of the all important layers, blend modes, masks. Highly recommend...
Rating: - An Excellent, Straightforward Approach to Layers
This book is a very good reference for both beginners and advance users of Photoshop. It provides details and methods on using layers without "going around the bush". Straightforward, precise, and filled with humor...you'll not be bored reading instructional book like this one. Sample images can be accessed online is a plus. My only gripe is that this was not available before when I was looking for some reference guide to Photoshop.
Rating: - A Very Good Reference
I was pretty good at using layers in Photoshop before buying this book.Now I'm much better.It's written in the same style as the Scott Kelby books; simple and straight forward step-by-step showing you how to do things.I use books like this as references, keeping them on a shelf near my work area and using them to remind me of ways to achieve some effects.If you're not an Adobe Certified Expert I recommend this book.
