I’ve noticed a lot of people asking what good books on Photoshop there are out there. Well I thought that I would start by highlighting a book each week. This week I am recommending Katrin Eismann’s Masking and Compositing book. It’s a remarkable book on generating complex selections, color correction, using layers and masks, and creative compositing. This book is intended for the intermediate to advanced user. The book also has a companion web site where you can download the tutorial images to practice the techniques yourself. Find out more about this book here.

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
