Photoshop CS3 Photographer’s Handbook: An Easy Workflow

New Release by Rocky Nook

Farnham, UK - Adobe Photoshop is central to most digital photography workflows, and the introduction of CS3 is a major milestone in the maturation of this imaging suite. Photographers often feel overwhelmed when starting with Photoshop - the sheer number of tools and options make it difficult for the novice. This mammoth program has no shortage of instructional books, yet very few books direct the user to the most significant aspects of the program.

Brad and Steve have leveraged their experience as teachers and practitioners to create a step-by-step guide that provides a simple and effective workflow for editing photographs in Photoshop. Photoshop CS3 Photographer’s Handbook: An Easy Workflow focuses on the critical elements of the workflow rather than covering every arcane feature. This Handbook is designed to get you working quickly in Photoshop. It provides the essential information for image editing along with step-by-step projects for more advanced Photoshop techniques.

Use the Photoshop CS3 Photographer’s Handbook to:
o Gain a solid foundation toward understanding the tools and processes used to edit photographs using Photoshop CS3 o Learn a practical workflow for editing images - including organizing images, clean-up, basic image editing, editing with selections, and applying effects o Learn individual techniques for image editing by following simple step-by-step instructions for each technique o Learn photographic techniques for image editing - like removing blue casts from shadows, blending images together, and correcting skin-tones
