Neither of these strike me as sufficient reason not to get, and read, 
RealWorld Photoshop 5.  Other books do not cover many of the vital and 
fundamental issues this book covers (even if it does so with a pre-press 
bias). Admittedly some masking techniques may be revised with PS5.5, but 
serious maskers are using a plug-in for that anyways. Web stuff will indeed 
change, but the web is not a major focus of RealWorldPS5. The basics of color 
management and an RGB workflow are what is most important here, and I see it 
covered in an updated manner in few other places.
