Adobe Master Class: Advanced Compositing in Adobe Photoshop CC: Bringing the Impossible to Reality -- with Bret Malley 2nd Edition

Very good composite book. I said advanced but II believe someone with little skills could follow along. Very detailed, had some photos available so you can do the composites but the one I wanted to do the photos were not available.

Malley clearly and illustratively breaks down the complexity of Photoshop with wit and humor. The book is clear and not cluttered with confusing stuff you don't need to know. I love the various artists this book showcases because they show an amazing range of compositing possibilities. All work well to inspire confidence! Definitely my Go To book for Photoshop.

Great information for learning how to extract images and composite believably

Great book, lots of useful information. Some of the methods are outdated IMO and require a review.I loved the detail and the steps provided. Would not recommend to anyone without basic knowledge on PS including cutting out, brush skills, layer masks.

Great book, helps teach techniques for awesome composites. has a lot of do's and don't and why

Superb guide. It details possibilities that I didn't know were possible. Excellent reference to have on hand.

This is a great book for intermediate to advanced users, I bought also "Photoshop Compositing Secrets" by Matt Kloskowski and I found it much better explained taking you step by step on complex projects.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321808231/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk
