 You've heard
us rave about Gary's "Inside" series books before, and with good reason.
Now Gary tops his long list of books with this killer guide to the world's most popular
image editing software Photoshop.
__ Inside Photoshop 6 is a must-have reference for anyone
who is serious about learning Photoshop 6 inside and out. The team of writers and
editors go to great lengths to cover both the beginners' trail and the path to greatness
using Photoshop. You'll explore all the new features in version 6, like the revved up vector and text tools. You'll get step-by-step guidance through the new
filters and special effectstools
and you'll learn the finer points of generating
just about any image you can dream.
__ This is not just about painting and image creation
however. Gary and the team get down to bare-bones business with photo retouching
(second only to our own Photo Retouching Seminar), image replacement, image merger
and montage, and much more. You'll learn how to acquire and manipulate just about
any image you'll ever encounter, and you'll learn how to profile your system to make
sure your color is flawless from mouse to printer.
For the fine artist...
In the example above, Gary takes you from the rough drawn pencil sketch
one might scan, through all the processes of creating a masterful work of digital
art. No other book, technical guide or otherwise, goes into this kind of detail for
you.
A superb mentor for fine artists! |
__ Inside Photoshop 6 spans 1000 pages including a whopping
40 page index -- one of the best in the industry! Gary's easy to follow, and easy
to understand pictorials grace nearly every page and show you exactly how to accomplish
the technique in the text. A full color (glossy) insert contains a wonderful gallery
of before and after images that work through the major demonstrations. These images
are also included on the CD-ROM. Oooops! Did we mention the CD?
__ The CD included with Inside Photoshop 6 nearly justifies
the price of the whole book! What we liked best were all the "workfiles"
-- taken directly from the text of the book -- that you can use to follow along with
the tutorials. Also included are html web sets that follow techniques in ImageReady
and Photoshop -- on the CD you find these web sets installed ready to test surf!
But that's not all... the CD also includes more than 140 megabytes of fonts, clip
art, and textures for both Macintosh and Windows users.
__ But wait... there's more. Inside Photoshop also includes
a complete PDF Glossary and help directory -- more than 300 pages of full color illustrations
and definitions. You also get a whole collection of newly released demoware to try:
Play's Amorphium Modeling program, a ton of filters and plug-ins, and more.
For Web Designers:
Everything from animation to rollovers to image optimization to file formats is covered
in a special section of the book, designed specifically for Adobe ImageReady and
Photoshop's web tools. The layers chapter could possibly be the most important chapter
any web designer will ever find. You could spend hours and hours trying to fathom
the information you get quickly and easily form this section of the book. You'll
also have fun checking out the finished Web projects on the CD-ROM.
This is the ONE book for Photoshop 6 users
... get it quick. If you haven't made the jump into version 6 yet, then
get this book at the same time. You'll thank me later!
