Adobe Photoshop CS4 Book for Digital Photographers

Are you ready for a Photoshop book that breaks all the rules? Updated for Adobe Photoshop CS4, this top-selling book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's rare--it cuts through the bull and shows readers exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge readers to come up with their own settings or figure it out on their own. Instead, it shows them, step by step, the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital photographers and retouchers, and it does something that virtually no other Photoshop book has ever done--it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. Including coverage of all the newest features of CS4--such as nondestructive corrections with the Adjustments panel, the new Vibrance adjustment layer, better Dodge and Burn tools, and enhanced Auto-Align and Auto-Blen panoramic features--The Photoshop CS4 Book for Digital Photographers is full-color, graphically rich, and contains project-based examples of every key step in the digital photography process. Integrating all the newest features of Photoshop CS4 into the book's workflow, Scott shows readers how to work with their images like a pro, from importing to organizaiton to correction to output.
