In Inside Adobe Photoshop 5.5, Gary Bouton's learning methodology is set up to give you hands-on experience with Photoshop's features, using either the imagery created in the book or the user's own.

Each chapter includes a balance of textual discussion, hands-on excercises, and review material, all written in Gary's highly praised style.
