I bought this book since I'm studying motion graphics and compositing/visual effects at college and my Photoshop knowledge isn't quite at the level I'd like it to be. The nice thing about this book is the techniques are all geared towards those using PS for video related work - an excellent resource and a good companion book to "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects" by Chris and Trish Meyer...
Easy and thorough September 4, 2007

As an "old school" Avid editor from big post houses, Photoshop was used for simple titles and the rest went to the graphics department or our hands were slapped.
The book only goes through the usefulness and purpose of nearly all Photoshop tools and their relevancy to video. It has tutorials showing all common video uses from cutting out photos, lower thirds, backgrounds, creating elements for motion graphics programs like After Effects, uses of masks and alpha channels and the many ways you can create them depending on circumstance and content. In addition, the book points out some of the differences with different versions of Photoshop so you can work through aspects even if you haven't updated to CS3 yet.
The accompanying DVD not only includes all the elements needed to complete each task, there's also supplemental "Podcasts" in which Richard Harrington actually SHOWS you how to do many of the key aspects of each tutorial.
This is a must have book for video editors who must now do it all since Photoshop is the Swiss Army Knife of video graphics.
Photoshop for Video, Third Edition August 7, 2007
I have been in multimedia for 5 years and is always learning. I like the fact that i don't know everything!
This book is a must for anyone in multimedia and graphic design.
Excellent reference book June 27, 2007
This is my second purchase of this series. I work with quite a few photos and found Richard Harrington's suggestions to be extremely helpful. The book provides insights that I haven't found elsewhere. This book is for those new to working with Photoshop for video as well as more seasoned users.
