When building muscle, it’s important to properly warm up. In Photoshop terms, that means that you have a proper understanding of some basics. How to set up your screen, how to utilize layer masks to make your life easier, and quick ways to eliminate color casts. These are all detailed in this handy little booklet that I recommend to just about all users. Since most photographers get their Photoshop education in pieces here and there, there are often gaps in that knowledge. You don’t know that you don’t know something until someone points it out to you. Then you slap your forehead and say “I didn’t know that! Man! That would have made my life so much easier!” It’s only 42 pages of important concepts, with lots of illustrations.
