"Photoshop - Master The Basics" is a very beginners introduction to Photoshop. Knowing how confusing Photoshop can be from the start, I didn't want to leave any stone unturned. Therefore, This book literally starts with an introduction on how to prep your files for editing, and how to choose which workspace in Photoshop works the best for you.

Moving beyond that, I go through a comprehensive list of all the tools in Photoshop and some of their suggested functions. In this list, I have starred the tools that I find most useful, although of course there're several ways that any one task can be done, so I have included alternatives, and it is up to you to find out which one works the best for you. Moving on, the importance of layers and of nondestructive editing is stressed. You will learn how to stack your layers effectively in order to get the most out of your images. Also mentioned are adjustment layers, which are much more easily accessed then trying to utilize the menu bars all of the time. Next is a chapter on blend modes, and how they can make your layers meld together more effortlessly. In the following installation that pairs with this one, you will learn more specific tips and tricks that will come along with exercises to guide you.
