  Photoshop is the undisputed graphics tool for creating images for the Web. Web developers and designers learned early on that Photoshop is invaluable for their Web graphics work. As the power of images increases for the Web through background tiles, moving images, and sheer volume of images through buttons and icons, so has the power of Photoshop. Adobe has added many new functions to the core Photoshop program that will aid Web developers in doing their job effectively and quickly. Some of these new features include Web graphics file formats and the ability to script Photoshop to carry out batch-processing procedures to multiple files automatically.

  Photoshop Web Techniques not only comprehensively covers Photoshop as a Web tool, but also includes a feature called ...and Beyond , which shows Web developers how to use the images they create with JavaScript, Shockwave, Animated GIFs, Background Tiles, Interface Design, and many other graphical uses. This feature is unique to a techniques-based graphics book. This will prove tobe a popular feature for Web developers because most of them do not prepare graphics exclusively -- they also implement the end result for the Web page.

  This is a step-by-step Web graphics techniques book that teachers readers how to effectively use Photoshop for their work. The information does not stop at how to use Photoshop. The ...and Beyond feature shows readers how to incorporate their graphics in many different Web-based technologies.
