We discuss properties of pseudospectrum and condition spectrum of an element in a complex unital Banach algebra and its $\epsilon$-perturbation. Several results are proved about linear maps preserving pseudospectrum/ condition spectrum. These include the following: (1) Let $A, B$ be complex unital Banach algebras and $\epsilon$ is positive. Let $\Phi: A\rightarrow B$ be an $\epsilon$-pseudospectrum preserving linear onto map. Then $\Phi$ preserves spectrum. If $A$ and $B$ are uniform algebras, then, $\Phi$ is an isometric isomorphism. (2) Let $A, B$ be uniform algebras and $\epsilon \in (0,1)$. Let $\Phi:A\rightarrow B$ be an $\epsilon$-condition spectrum preserving linear map. Then $\Phi$ is an $\epsilon^{'}$-almost multiplicative map, where $\epsilon, \epsilon^{'}$ tend to zero simultaneously.
