Modern Life is no longer updated.
After a long hiatus due to increased working commitment, lack of inspiration, and unclear goals: I've decided not to rekindle this blog but to start anew in more fertile soil. Modern Life will remain online as-is for the forseeable future.
I'm now posting at my new blog, User Interfaced.

Thanks for the review of this book. I've been pondering whether to get it or not since I saw it in a bookstore a couple of months back. I wasn't sure if it would be worth the money because most photoshop books just aren't aimed at web designers/developers. If this one is, then I'm probably going to get it.

Anything new to be learnt - or just a rehashing of old stuff?
I guess it depends on your skill level with PS... but as you say, you might consider yourself an expert, and discover something new which makes you feel really stupid.

@Nick - Yep, this is definitely aimed squarely at web designers.
@Wolf - It's a mix of things, from the absolute elementary stuff to more advanced, specific stuff (I managed to learn a few tricks myself :)

Pressing the tab key hides the menus? Why didn't anyone tell me before!!

Funny thing is, 15 years ago I was using Deluxe Paint IV on the Amiga and using TAB to hide the menus - but I only stumbled upon the same functionality in PS a couple of weeks ago...

Haha, I just discovered the tab key like half an hour before reading this.
When I go further with web designing in photoshop, i might pick this on up, but sticking to coding for now.

I also like Shift + Tab, it hides the all the menus with the exception of the Tools. I couldn't live without the left and right bracket keys. They adjust the size of just about everything... on the fly. The left makes the tool smaller and the right larger. Try them with the eraser, clone stamp, healing brush, and paintbrush activated. You will quickly come to the love the left and right bracket keys!
Thanks for the review.
