Hedley Griffin writes in a way that is sympathetic to your needs and guides you though each technique in a simple step-by-step manner.

Practical illustrated tutorials then take you through each fundamental technique so you too will be able to achieve professional-looking results.

The free CD-ROM (PC only) includes colour examples and animation movie clips of the techniques described in the book, as well as a range of free demos of the various software available.
