Product Review
"What makes this text stand out is the author’s inclusion of multiple approaches to a design challenge. This not only helps readers think of a solution from multiple angles, but reinforces the use of multiple tools for one exercise." — Rebecca Gallagher, Desktop and Web Publishing, Touro College
Product Description
This new title teaches advanced design techniques using one of the most popular photo editing programs on the market, Adobe Photoshop CS2. Using step-by-step tutorials, students work with curves, levels, blending modes, special effects, and painting and drawing tools to create beautiful designs and images. They are challenged not only as Photoshop users, but as designers, and learn about the design profession by following the steps a designer would take to complete real-world projects. They also learn what works in a design, and what doesn’t. Students then take their craft a step further through advanced end of chapter learning projects. The book’s full color interior and highly-visual design combine to make the ideal book for learning advanced design techniques using the latest version of Adobe Photoshop.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Let me start by saying this is a pretty good book, setup with easy to follow instructions and two full disks of images and files to work with. I give it 2 stars based on the fact that the title is misleading. This is nowhere near what I expected for an advanced book. Using layer masks, creating gradients, adding a pillow emboss and scaling images are just a few of the lessons taught. It does get a little more advanced towards the end, but (especially for the price) I don't think this lives up to the title. It's much better for the beginning Photoshop user, looking to improve. I'll be returning this book. In this skill category, there are plenty of good books, covering the same material at a much lower price point. For instance, check out Steve Caplin's "How to Cheat at Photoshop".
