Average Rating: 
Rating:  - BEST CHOICE for beginners!!
Hey, This BOOK is the BEST choice for beginners and Intermediate users.
I don't have any previous experience with PS. I've been reading tutorials around the net, I was almost frustated, after read Hi-Fi Color for Comics I changed my mind..
Now, I can do an entire comicbook page!!
If you find this one, go ahead, This is simply the best!
Rating:  - Nicely done except its slanted more for Photoshop users
The first chapter claims that the tutorials in the book can be used for any image editing program but the tutorial often involves using Photoshop scripts. So with that in mind, if you use another program it may be difficult to convert the tutorial steps to fit whatever image processing program you use.
Despite that, the authors really know their stuff.
Rating: - Not bad
Very nice "How To" book, however, many of the techniques CAN be sourced from the Web. My biggest critique and is the scripts included in the CD - if you don't get them up and running (Mac OsX users) half the tutorials won't work. THey're supposed to make it easier for you, but not if they don't work...other than that, good to see some of the techniques Hi-Fi uses. 3 out of 5

Sure, some of this may be in the Internet here and there, but never in one place and never, ever explained so well.
In addition to the valuable information on coloring, he also includes some invaluable scripts from Hi-Fi, which removes the tedious process of setting ... Read More
Rating: - Fabulous book with a truly valuable cd.
This book is an excellent resource. The authors are talented colorists, but more importantly for the reader, they're people with real experience teaching others how to color comics professionally.
There are a hundred ways to do ANYTHING in photoshop -- what I love about _Hi-Fi Color for Comics_ is it stops to explain WHY they do it the way they're showing. I've colored a lot of comic pages and other illustrations over the years, and have my own way of doing things. I'm changing a lot of ... Read More
