Official Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Studio Techniques goes beyond conventional step-by-step instruction and provides the kind of insight and information that will help you truly understand and appreciate Photoshop.

Back Cover Copy
Official Adobe Photoshop 5 Studio Techniques teaches in full color and in a clear, well-organized style that intuitively follows the user through techniques rather than touring the application. The author teaches through the use of analogies and concepts, using a fun and informal--yet authoritative--tone. The book is divided into three sections:Part I: An introduction into the mechanics of the application. Covers the tools and palettes, and explains techniques such as selections and layers in language everyone can understand.Part II: Explores techniques. Rather than listing tools one by one, it demonstrates vital operations, covering each tool as it comes into play. Covers such topics as resolution, line art scanning, and working with grayscale images.Part III: Takes the reader through more advanced techniques. Covers topics such as color correction, compositing, retouching, and other enhancements.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Ben Willmore explains the principles and theory of why Photoshop works. His work is concise, quick to the point, very informative and fun to read. It's a medium sized book, but packed with all the information you'd find in all of those 3 inch thick books put together. If I only bought one Photoshop book, this would be the one. The first section 'Working Foundations' is like a Photoshop 101 class. It gives you the basics of Photoshop (and in a very fun and easy way, too!). I found lots of great tips to speed up my work! The second section, 'Production Essentials' covers the most important stuff for a working studio or graphic business. This is the topic that often gets skipped in other Photoshop books. Willmore covers the principles behind color correction, sharpening, curves, working with grayscale, and other techniques neccessary for producing professional output. The third section, 'Creative Explorations' goes into different techniques for enhancing your image. It covers image blending, retouching, using type and other filter effects. Occassional Photoshop users will find everything they need in this book. Professional users will find this book as an essential building block and reference for their Photoshop knowledge.
