Andrei Doubrovski, a professional photo restoration artist and
technician, has released a video-book "As Simple As Photoshop."

The book is devoted to an original method of a quick but total immersion
into the environment of Photoshop. Perhaps you have heard some people
saying that this program is very complex. This is partially true;
learning all of Photoshop may take you years. The "ASAP" (stands for
"As Simple As Photoshop") offers you a faster way. It tells only the
things you have to know at the moment, skipping the details, as you
have lots of time to learn those when (and if) you need them.

Another speed-up secret is illustrations. The book is packed with
full-sound movies. So, you needn't choose between a Photoshop book and
a Photoshop video any more. "ASAP" is more than just a book and
smarter than just a video. It takes you by the hand and shows you
around Photoshop, allowing you to combine all possible learning
methods. Just read it, watch it, listen to it and follow it.

Alongside with detailed explanation of the essential techniques, "ASAP"
offers you a number of practical solutions. See the sample photographs
enhanced, retouched, manipulated and Web graphics created for you in
real time.

The book is available in EXE (Windows) and PDF (cross-platform) formats.
Despite its 198 embedded movies (total running time: 291 min) the file
size is only 103 Mb. The product requires Macromedia Flash Player 6.
Price: $19.50 US to download or $29.50 for CD shipping.
