I borrowed this book from my library, rather than purchase it, because I read a review that said it was geared more toward designers than photographers. Not true! I found a lot of useful information in this book. It is laid out much in the way of Scott Kelby's tutorial books in that the lessons are short, easy to follow, and easy to execute. I expect this book will end up in my Photoshop reference library.

A good book on learning about layers in Photoshop. Not as deep as I would have liked though.
