Corrie Haffly has been using Photoshop to create web graphics since 1998. She lives with her husband in Davis, California, which has the distinction of being the first city in the US to paint bike lanes on a street. When not running errands on her bike, enjoying a good book, trying out a new recipe, or finding more ways to be organized, Corrie works extensively with PixelMill, the leading industry provider of web site templates.

2007-02-11 Noob book - complete garbage

Was long time thinking of buying one more nice Photoshop book. But this one is absolutely useless.
"101 Web Design Tips, Tricks & Techniques" is not correct name for this book. I would say: "how to use Photoshop for starters".

About author: "Corrie Haffly has been using Photoshop to create web graphics since building her first web page in 1998"
That's exactly time from wich i use Photoshop and at that time we waited for 5-th version of programm. Very strange book for person who works so long with Photoshop.

Whole book is a bit information from "help" and other you can find out yourself for some hours just checking what every button means.
Author very much likes such layer styles as "bevel and embross", but for person who used and uses photoshop nowdays should know that people already not exited about "candies" and are very much fond of really good design.
A lot of screenshots that are about a half of book (1/3 as minimum) The book is really for people who are too lazy to read "help" and wanna it in printed version. But don't think it cost 27 dollars.
For people who have at least medium level in using Photoshop this book will be really useless. I wanted some book that will help me to find smth cool before i will pass my Adobe Sertification Exam, but when i choosed this book i just through out my money on wind.


Don't know what author trying to say with this book, but i think it's not fair. I still have book from '99-2000 year where is absolutely the same information. Everybody who knows photoshop in middle level and have a bit of time and wish can also read such book himself.

1 star. Yes and it's even too much, cause it's only for color-printing of book, to what the author have no connection.

Think good reviews (so more then two stars) to this book can give only people who don't know nothing about Photoshop and have no wish to find out primitive things themselves of just friends of author.

And as for author - i would strongly recommend her subscribe to "Advanced Photoshop" magazine
