The 2nd edition for 2.8 is expected to be out in early 2012. I'm trying to coincide the update with the 2.8 release so the book is relevant. I'm almost done with updating all the text, including quite few new tutorials. I've been putting off making new screenshots to give the developers as much time as possible for UI updates. But I'll be starting in on those very soon. > Are you sure that File->Create->Logos->Chrome wont do what you are > looking for? Kind of. But understanding how to do it manually allows you the flexibility of making your own flavor of the effect. That's the purpose of all the tutorials in the book - to teach technique without falling back on too many pre-built effects. -- Michael J.
