I got Gregory George's new book, "50 Fast Photoshop 7 Techniques" on Friday and have begun to wade through it.. On first review it's a definite pleasure and I would certainly recommend it... Enough basic techniques for beginning/intermediate photogs, as well as techniques that will be "new" to many old hands (given how many potential workflows there are in PShop, this kind of "cross-pollinization" is a great thing) The illustrations are in full-color, of quite high quality and the style and subject matter is varied from differing photogs, helping illustrate clearly, in a way that one photog's imagery never could, appropriate techniques.. Of course the variety and input from other practitioners is a HUGE plus, if just in keeping the interest level high. I also particularly like his focus on some not so well known, but heartily useful, plug-ins.. Heck, there were several (in particular Grain Surgery, Quantum Mechanic, and the two Applied Science Fiction offerings I had never tried before). I was also heartened to see Fred Miranda's cost conscious, high quality offerings highlighted as well. The book is definitely worthy of a full review and I will post one soon on-list (both mine and elsewhere) within a week or so. At a cursory review level, it looks like it it will be getting a spot next to my PhotoShop Bible... Keith </div>
