Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
PhotoDeluxe--the inexpensive, easy-to-use image editor from Adobe, the company that also offers the high-end Photoshop--has introduced many novices to the world of bitmap editing. But it can be hard to learn how to create a particular effect even in PhotoDeluxe, and that's where this Visual QuickStart Guide comes in. Using lots of screen shots and just a few straightforward step-by-step instructions, the authors teach you how to install the software and navigate the interface, scan in or download pictures, make and adjust selections, use the cloning and shadow tools, and change an image's perspective and size. You also learn how to touch up images by adjusting color balance, brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation. The authors help you print and export files, work with the paint tools, combine photographs using layers, and create logos, labels, business cards, envelopes, Web buttons, textures, backgrounds, and special 2-D and 3-D effects. A full-color section shows before-and-after shots of images in which the authors applied special effects and touch-ups. An image-editing glossary and a guide to PhotoDeluxe keyboard shortcuts round out the book.
