I learned a lot and I already thought I knew a lot.

I got this and Ken McMahon's (and Robin Nichols) book at the same time. I initially thought I was going to like the other book more, but this one became ever-so-slightly the preferred of the two. It's not perfect and I still struggle with layers/masks sometimes, but there are a lot of good tips and tools in this book. I certainly felt like I learned some things, and I considered myself well above average, not quite a power-user, but close before reading it.
