Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Studio Techniques goes to great lengths to move readers beyond the "click the buttons" stage and into an in-depth understanding of how Photoshop works. Rather than leading readers blindly through step-by-step techniques that cover every Photoshop feature, author Ben Willmore cuts through the fat to focus on what he considers to be Photoshop's essential features. Willmore has fully updated this well-known favorite to cover the new and noteworthy features of Photoshop 7. Also included is an entirely new chapter dedicated to color management, providing practical instruction--minus the "technobabble"--on implementing a color-managed workflow across the monitor, printer, and printing press. Readers begin by learning the working foundations of Photoshop--the basic tools and palettes-- and then move on to master production skills, such as how to capture great scans and tweak images to perfection. By the time they finish the book, they will have explored the creative aspects of Photoshop, such as how to blend images, master colorizing techniques, and create advanced type effects.
