It was written from scratch by our regular writer Thomas Giannattasio, exclusively for Smashing Magazine and its readers. We are very proud of the result, in particular because of the high quality of tips, ideas and techniques that Thomas — who is a deep expert in Adobe Photoshop — presents in his book. Mastering Photoshop is written for advanced and intermediate designers who want to brush up on their workflow and improve their Photoshop skills
