Adobe Photoshop 6 Books |

|
Each installment in the Classroom in a Book series features consistently well written and conceived lessons used in Adobe's official training and certification program. These books guarantee solid instruction, taking readers step by step through professional-level projects. Another fine tutorial-style book from the Adobe staff, this volume covers the latest version of Photoshop. |
Although this cornucopia of tips, tricks, explanations, and experienced wisdom would be useful to any Photoshop user, those most likely to benefit, and benefit a lot, are graphic designers and others working on prepress production. From bit depth to monitor settings, gamut warnings, and file formats, this book faces all those nasty problems that designers often want the service bureau or printer to fix, but really should handle themselves (if they want to have the most control over how their artwork prints). |
This design cookbook now features nourishing meals along with its famous desserts.
Most design professionals already own books in the Wow! series, and they're likely
dog-eared from constant use. Authors Dayton and Davis have incorporated the latest
changes in Photoshop 6 and added a lot of new material based upon readers' suggestions.

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers focuses on the capabilities of Photoshop that
are most useful to professional, particularly commercial, photographers. It's no
cheesy production: with its crisp text and color images printed on heavyweight paper,
and a companion CD-ROM with several substantial QuickTime movies, it's a beautiful way to learn.

It's disappointing when a photo of a loved one is marred by "red eye" or the wrong
exposure, or when a cherished picture from long ago cracks and fades. Luckily, Katrin
Eismann seems to know every trick available in Photoshop for making photographs--film
or digital--look just how you want them to, whether that means restoring what has been
lost, fixing incorrect exposures, erasing dust and scratches, or even recreating
reality. (Who wouldn't want to lose a few wrinkles?) Eismann has the artistic eye to
appreciate good photography, the technical savvy to be able to offer numerous solutions
to any given problem, and the writing and teaching skills to walk readers clearly
through these solutions.

Barry Haynes, Apple pioneer and photographer with over a decade of experience working with digital images, has been using Photoshop since it was created. His work and experience shows in this latest addition to the Photoshop Artistry series. The writing is clear and thorough. Each section covers some aspect of Photoshop in detail, whether it's explaining formats like TIFF and PDF, gleaning information from histograms, or using levels and curves for color correction. Within the explanations are exercises set in bold type (with project files on the CD-ROM), giving the text the one-two punch of "learn" and "do." |

In this well-organized, image-filled book, the author promises to show readers who
have some computer experience but are new to digital photography (that is, neither
computer neophytes nor professional photographers) how to take, touch up, edit, and
publish digital pictures for the Web. As Lisa Lee puts it, "I start with a crash
course about how to take a good picture, and then try to show off some basic and
advanced tasks you can perform to create spiffy-looking Web-ready photographic images."

"Valuable tips infest this book like locusts from some biblical plague! A must for any Photoshop hack."

Plenty of books cover all things Photoshop, but Professional Photoshop 6: The Classic
Guide to Color Correction is probably one of the few that ought to be required reading.
Filled with clear text and color images, this new edition of the classic color usage
guide stands out among its peers. Updated to reflect changes in Photoshop since the
previous edition, nearly half the material is either new or has been rewritten. Color
correction itself hasn't changed, but the way it's done and the need for doing it certainly have.

carry them out but the reasons behind each stage, readers will find out more than
