Get the Most from Photoshop is organised around accessible projects that show the reader how to achieve specific end results. It covers all commonly used versions of Photoshop, including notes on changes in later versions and tips on how the techniques can be adapted to Photoshop Elements. The first section of the book deals with Photoshop Basics; the things you need to grasp before you can take even the smallest first steps with your own pictures. You will find all the essential tools and techniques and learn about non-destructive editing using Layers and Masks. Moving onto more specific techniques you will find more and more step-by-step projects that you can follow with your own images (or, if you prefer, using the same images by downloading them from www.getthemostfromphotoshop.com). There is everything the creative photographer could want to learn. From black and white to soft focus, to recreating the effect of specialist techniques such as fish-eye or infrared photography, Photoshop allows you to decide how you want your pictures to look after - not before - you take them. You'll also find ideas for creating retro-style colour effects, graininess and vignettes, compose a fake Andy Warhol, add borders and edges, and discover key tools and techniques needed for convincing montages and pleasing collages.
