I can’t stand introductions. Weird coming from an author, right? It’s like some committee got together and said that you’ve got to have an introduction in your book. Oh, and please make it long. Really long! In fact, make it so long that it will ensure no one reads introductions. And the vicious cycle begins. That said, I understand the concept of an introduction. It’s for the author to introduce you to the content of the book and give you an idea of how best to get the most out of the book you just purchased. I’m going to do that, but I’m going to do it with a very short list (I love lists, by the way). Here goes: 1. If you want to follow along with the images used in the book, then feel free to download them at http://www.kelbytraining.com/books/layerscs5. You’ll notice that most are watermarked, especially the photos don’t belong to me. I’ve used two great online resources for stock photos, Fotolia and iStockphoto, because I wanted to include a variety of projects and I don’t happen to photograph all of those type of subjects. For example, in Chapter 1, I think the basketball sports poster is a great way to use layers, but I don’t shoot basketball, so I used stock photos. And you can guarantee that I didn’t use photos of anyone I know for the retouching chapter, so I’ve used stock photos for many of those tutorials, as well. 2. I’ve included four online videos to go along with the book: one on layer basics, one on selection basics, one on brush basics, and a tutorial on the making of the cover. We use brushes and selections throughout the book, so I wanted to make sure you’re up to speed with the basics of what you’ll need. 3. What’s new in this version of the book? For starters, I’ve added an entire chapter on advanced layer techniques, blending, and compositing. Overall though, layers haven’t really changed much since I wrote the first version of this book more than three years ago. But Photoshop has had two major releases since then, and it was time to bring the book up to date. So, I have included all new graphics, examples, and even some new techniques that are more current for today’s Photoshop user. That said, if you bought the first version of this book and you’re looking for a completely new book, please don’t buy this one (if you’re flipping through it in a bookstore. If you’ve already bought it online, most online booksellers allow returns, so return it now before you feel the need to write a nasty review on Amazon.com . 4. Feel free to read the book in any order you want. I organized the book into the logical way that I teach layers when I teach it to a live class. I started with the easier stuff and moved on to the more advanced stuff in later chapters. So jump in wherever you want. Hey, it’s your book. You bought it, right? You’re smart enough to realize that if you jumped right to Chapter 6 and are lost, that the best thing to do may be to backtrack to Chapter 1. Chapter 10, however, assumes you’ve read the rest of the book. 5. There’s a little bonus at the end of each chapter. As an author, it’s one of the ways that we wreak havoc on our editors, and we take a small amount of pleasure in that. After all, you can’t just fill the book with tutorials, right? You’ve got to throw some tips in, and throw them in at the last minute after all of the chapters are already turned in. My thoughts exactly. So, at the end of each chapter, there’s a page of some common “How Do I…” questions. They’re all related to things that you read in the chapter. I’ve taken the most common questions and put them into one place, so you don’t have to poke around the whole chapter to find them. That’s it. That’s my introduction. Easy. Simple. Short. Sweet. Getting longer now that I keep adding to it at the end. But, still shorter than most. Now, get to it and enjoy the book. —Matt K.
