Adobe Photoshop has long been regarded as the definitive imaging tool, a 'must have' for creating digital imagery. Photoshop has revolutionized the way artists - and now digital photographers - work. Its vast range of features has enabled them to achieve effects that were hitherto either impossible or unacceptably time-consuming. But the application is so vast that, unless of the features are visited on a very regular basis, it would be beyond most users' capabilities to remember every variation or setting.

Take the immensely powerful 'Filters' menu, for example - Photoshop contains 100 built-in filters, with scant explanation of their function. Experimenting with just a single filter will gobble up the hours, never mind the years that will pass when you start combining one filter with another. The Photoshop Filter Effects Cookbook is the first-ever book to show the settings of every filter that Photoshop has to offer, while also providing a comprehensive recipe book for some truly amazing effects. This is the essential time-saving reference guide for every Photoshop user.
