This book is a resource for web designers who want to use Photoshop to create better-looking web graphics.

A lot has changed in the field of web design and Photoshop in the last six years. Now at version CS6, Photoshop has more powerful filters and effects, and more efficient tools. Meanwhile, the mobile environment, responsive design, and a wider adaptation of HTML5 and CSS3 has transformed the way the Web works and looks. This updated book takes into account the new and improved tools in Photoshop CS6, as well as recent techniques and design elements you might be seeing on the Internet. For instance, you’ll notice that buttons and backgrounds have evolved somewhat since 2006, and there are new solutions for using Photoshop’s Content-Aware technology, as well as for setting up grids and wireframes in Photoshop.
