Adobe Photoshop CS Creative Studio (Paperback)

Whether you're a designer, illustrator, or artist, as an advanced Photoshop user, you're constantly on the lookout for the tips and techniques that will allow you to use Adobe's image manipulation program ever more creatively. Who better to turn to, then, than Adobe's own former Creative Director, Luanne Seymour Cohen? Using beautiful four-color artwork to inspire and a series of project-based lessons as the jumping-off point, Luanne shows you just how far you can take Photoshop's many advanced features to create dazzling digitally manipulated images of your own. Included are plenty of techniques that focus on making the most of Photoshop CS' new features: an improved File Browser; nonsquare pixel support; cool, new Photomerge technology (which allows you to create seamless panoramas out of multiple images); 16-bit image support; customizable keyboard shortcuts; the ability to place text on paths and in shapes; and more. If you're ready for a master class in Photoshop--but don¿t want to leave your home to take it--this book delivers!
