About the Adobe Photoshop CS5 Ultimate Workshop Book
496 pages + DVD featuring tutorial movies
This title is coauthored by Martin Evening and Jeff Schewe. While the main Photoshop for Photographers book covers all the essentials of image editing in Photoshop, this title is intended as a companion book. It goes into greater detail and supplements your knowledge of Photoshop, offering expert guidance that's aimed at intermediate to advanced users of Photoshop.
In this second edition, Martin Evening and Jeff Schewe each describe in detail how to carry out some of their favorite Photoshop image editing and retouching techniques. Another appealing feature of this book, is that many of the photographs are taken from real-life professional shoots. The techniques described here don't just show you clever things you can do in Photoshop, they show how you can use Photoshop in a professional context, meeting the demands of art directors and how to meet tricky briefs.
But don't be put off by the thought that this is a book for advanced professional Photoshop users only. A lot of the tips and techniques shown in this book are easy to learn and clearly explained throughout. Click the book preview link on the right to take a sneak preview.
This title is not due to be updated to Photoshop CC. This is because most of what is described in this book are 'classic' techniques and therefore the content is not so version-specific as the main Adobe Photoshop for Photographers book.
Note for Macintosh customers
It is known that some Macintosh users may experience difficulty getting the Help Guide to display correctly from the DVD. Help is at hand. You can access all of the Help Guide contents via an on-line version of the Ultimate Workshop Help Guide. This link also allows ebook readers to access all the images that are supplied on the DVD.
The Photoshop for Photographers main book has become an established classic and has regularly been updated since version 5.0 of the program. This latest edition provides detailed information on the essentials of Photoshop and Camera Raw, as well as describing all that's new for photographers in Photoshop. Even if you think you know Photoshop well, with this book you'll learn even more detail about the program.
The Ultimate Workshop book is intended as a companion to the main Adobe Photoshop for Photographers book and takes Photoshop for photographers instruction to a whole new level. Packed with tutorials on Photoshop and Camera Raw, it concentrates solely on what you can do with Photoshop at an intermediate to advanced level, without having to devote pages to a discussion of all the basic features and interface. If you already know a little about how to use Photoshop and are looking to update your skills, this is the book to get.
