Designed to be users' first Photoshop guide, this volume works equally well in classroom settings and for self-directed learning, as it provides a flexible, hands-on approach and a CD filled with images you can work along with. Drawing on their years of experience using and teaching the program, veteran authors Dave CrossandMatt Kloskowskiuse simple step-by-step instructions, loads of visual aids, and a slew of easy-to-follow real-world projects to build on your growing Photoshop knowledge. You'll begin by learning about Photoshop's interface -how to navigate it and what's important -before moving on to a series of projects that teaches you how to paint, adjust, and manipulate your images. In the final chapters, you'll tackle more advanced topics like using filters and layer styles, color-correcting images, and more.Cross, Dave is the author of 'Photoshop 101 Your First Course in Photoshop', published 2007 under ISBN 9780321395924 and ISBN 0321395921.
