Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This book helps you spruce up your Photoshop images using filters--both the program's built-in filters and those available from third-party sources. Using a good combination of screen shots, discussion, and step-by-step instruction, the author helps you create a wide variety of effects. You work through many projects and apply filters as you create paintings, morphed images, 3-D effects, textures, Web backgrounds and buttons, interfaces, frames, text and color effects, and retouched and composite images. For those projects involving third-party filters, the author usually offers alternative methods that involve only Photoshop filters, so you don't have to install new plug-ins if you don't want to. Most of the projects, fortunately, focus on Photoshop's built-in filters and other tools. The companion CD-ROM includes images, as well as demo plug-ins, for working along with the book's projects. --Kathleen Caster

5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive,
By Darren Chong (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photoshop 5 Filters f/x and design: The Perfect "How-To" Guide to Creating Astonishing 3D Effects for World Wide Web Pages and Digital Applications! (Paperback)
Although some may find the info redundant, some like me, being lazy would want this book as a kind of reference to common/useful methods. It also describes alternatives to many photoshop plug-ins, such as using Eye Candy Bevel to Photoshop Bevel, which is useful. No other book I know describes plug-ins this way in such detail. Good Buy. If only it comes in full color, my favourite is Photoshop 5 Artistry...must have!~

Not Recommended,
By Aldrey (Jakarta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photoshop 5 Filters f/x and design: The Perfect "How-To" Guide to Creating Astonishing 3D Effects for World Wide Web Pages and Digital Applications! (Paperback)
I really didn't find this book helpful for me. First of all most of the techniques are too general (i knew most of them already). Then it shows too many plug-in filters that I don't have. And It only shows the final image in colour.
