Summary: This is a GREAT PHOTO SHOP BOOK!!!
Comment: "Photoshop for Video" is not only a well written book on learning how to use Photoshop as an artistic tool to create graphics, with lots of Gee-Wiz tips, techniques & tutorials to make you a better designer and Photoshop user, but if you have anything or want to have anything to do with using Photoshop along with your favorite non-linear video application, buy this book NOW.
From DV to High Definition video this book is an indispensable reference guide on how to get your graphics from Photoshop into your editor correctly. The included DVD has 2 1/2 hours of training video, tutorials and images to work on to will help you sharpen your skills.
My favorite parts in the book are the so called "PROfile" sections' highlighting editors and motion graphic designers and detailing the many ways these pro's use Photoshop to make graphics and save time.

Summary: A must-have for ANY editor who uses Photoshop
Comment: Quite simply, this is THE book to have if you're an NLE editor. Richard Harrington brings a comical, jovial style to what could be very boring geek speak and it makes it almost fun to go thru this book. (OK, that WAS a geeky comment, but whatever...)
Anyhow, if you edit and need to work with images - be it for text or still images - Richard's book will help you step up your game. To get specific, I've never seen the process of Alpha channel creation - a key for any top-flight composition - broken down so simply. Other standout chapters include color correction, photo restoration and working with gradients.
As if the printed material weren't enough, there are videos, PDF tutorials and some excellent goodies on the accompanying DVD-ROM. An absolute bargain.

Summary: Third times a charm!
Comment: This will be my third time purchusing this book, because I need the DVD! the first one I got was really scratch from me not taking care of it. The second I lost and have no idea where it is. This time I'm going to copy the dvd on a drive and a dvd-r so that I can won't lose it! This is a really great book by the way! There's a little something for everyone who uses video and photoghraphs.

Summary: Excelent for editors/designers in the road for being pro's
Comment: I read the book for the version 7.0, still not CS, but I think that goes by the same way. That book explains in an excellent way how to do things that sometimes are overlooked or seems very difficult to use, but thanks to the book the reader can discover it is not. It's a never-ending book because it includes a DVD with explaining videos, tutorials, lots of samples, free filters, demos, patterns, actions, etc. and in the book there are profiles of pro's explaining what they use photoshop for and tips, and their websites. So you visit the website, and there are lots of links, and you visit that links and so on, so you never end. Besides the author's sarcasm makes it easier to diggest and laugh sometimes. Has many shorcuts too. One detail is that you have to explore the entire disc very well because it has files never mentioned on the book, and there are images in the book that would be very useful to be on the disc.
