Publisher description
If you like a lot of structure, testing, and review when you learn a new software program, you should check out Adobe Photoshop 4 Interactive Course. Designed for beginning and intermediate users of Adobe Photoshop 4.0 for Macintosh and Windows, the book is full of quizzes to test your newfound knowledge, with answers at the back. Chapters are also online at the Waite Group's Web site. The combination of discussion and step-by-step instruction ensures that you grasp all of the nuances in each chapter.
After explaining the package's interface, author Sherry London delves right into selections, layers, and channels--the trickiest features and most important ones for sophisticated editing. Then she explains how to use the package's filters, paint and text tools, file formats, color spectrums and color correction tools. London explains how to digitize photos through scanning, and explains photo-retouching, photo-montage, and spot color. A good portion of the book is on working with other graphics programs, such as vector and 3-D software; customizing Photoshop through Preferences and Actions; and optimizing output by understanding color-calibration, color-management, and prepress issues. A hybrid CD-ROM includes a demo version of Adobe Photoshop as well as project files and third-party utilities and plug-ins.
