A Helpful Resource

Design professionals may want something slicker, but for all the rest of us, this book is exactly the help we need. Clear, step-by-step directions and real-life examples.

GREAT for graphic artists

This book assumes the reader has a background in the graphic arts. If you're a graphic artist who owns Photoshop, you'll want this book! As someone who learns best by doing, I particularly like the fact that the book includes projects you can do. Doing those projects is a great way to learn to use Photoshop features.

Clear Guidelines for Graphic Artists

Adobe's Photoshop is one of the most important graphics products introduced since the "desktop revolution" began. Its capabilities give a single user/operator the ability to do things that not too long ago required the services of a couple of different trade shops and the expenditure of weeks of time and large amounts of money. It gives graphic artists, both designers and photographers, a degree of control over their work they have never had before.Unfortunately, the fact that the natural users of Photoshop are graphic artists--not computer experts--is often overlooked. If nontechnical users can't understand and access its capabilities, they might as well not be there. By providing these lucid and easy-to-follow explanations of Photoshop Elements, Molly Joss has done a real service to graphic artists, photographers, and anyone else who wants to maximize the effect of digital images. Her book belongs in the library of every serious Photoshop user.
