A comprehensive guide to using Photoshop 4, the book teaches you how to create any sort of artwork you dream up. This limited edition includes five additional chapters on advanced techniques. The chapter on animation post-production shows you how to batch-edit still image frames from animations and use animation compilers. "Direct Scanning and Image Resolution" covers professional scanning techniques and shows you how to use Photoshop and Illustrator to create magazine layouts and Web pages. The chapter "Illustrating Metal Surfaces" covers textures such as gold and steel, and "Melding Painting with Photography" shows you how to use templates and Texture Creator, a texture-rendering program included on the book's CD-ROM, to create compelling images. The final new chapter, "Honey I Shrunk the Author," shows you how to place overly large or small objects in your photos. Like the paperback version, this book's CD-ROM comes with project files and demo software. However, this edition also comes with an extra CD-ROM, one that has project files for the new chapters and additional software, backgrounds, and images.
From Library Journal
Neither of these encyclopedic how-to guides is recommended for beginners. But if you have the kind of involved projects that keep you up late at night, these books will get you a few more winks. Bouton's book is really a second edition but includes new and useful material such as information on postproduction, scaling, illustrating metal surfaces, and other effects.
