| Description: | Photoshop is one of those programs that's so cool you just want to dive right in and start creating–but by plunging in head-first, without any guidance, you're likely to miss a lot. There's a solution: With this book, you learn by doing, getting your feet wet immediately as you progress through a series of hands-on projects that build on your growing Photoshop knowledge. Simple step-by-step instructions, review questions at the end of each chapter, and a companion CD with all of the book's project files make learning a breeze as the Adobe Creative Team takes you on a self-paced tour of the image-editing powerhouse. This bestselling guide has been completely revised to cover all of Photoshop CS2's new features, which include advanced tools for digital photographers, such as a new Spot Healing Brush for correcting scratches or blemishes, and Smart Sharpen for fixing photo blurring. Photoshop CS2 also includes loads of new creative tools, such as Vanishing Point and Image Warp. This comprehensive guide starts with an introductory tour of the software and then progresses on through lessons on everything from Photoshop's interface to more complex topics like color management, Web graphics, and photo retouching. |
Adobe Photoshop is one of the best Photo programs in the world you take a magazine picture and make it your own from all the different options you have to choose from.
I gave Photoshop CS2 a 4. It's a easy to follow program with lots of features. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it has a few tool that do the same task as another. Either way this program is a must for any arist who wishes to take their art to the next level. And if you already have it you can't deny that it has helped you and your art one way or another.
Of all the printed and/or digital training and reference material I have seen on CS2, this the most focused and extensive coverage to date. It utilizes the most basic and effective training techinique of summarizing what each lesson will cover, then walking you through it, then quizing you afterwords. The work-along CD is complete at every step. Although a true "complete" manual for CS2 would most likely be too large to tackle, this guide lets you know when to seek other sources for really detailed work. The product is the best of both worlds, and can be used as a thoroughly indexed reference source as well as a step by step training guide.
Great Product, the ability to manipulate most photos but its downfall was the puzzle like design which can hinder peoples imagination and creativity with their photos.
I love the features that are gathered here in this product. Its a really great tool to use if looking into useing photoshop as one of your main photo correction tools. the best of the best!
The more I learn it can do, the more I like how it makes my 3ds Max textures better!
