You shouldn\u2019t expect to learn many advanced techniques from this book, as this book is aimed at the beginner &amp; intermediate Photoshop users. If you want to use Photoshop for Photography, this book covers many of the features that will benefit you for that, like Camera Raw, but I personally suggest that you get a dedicated book\u00a0for that.
