Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Studio Techniques
Book Review: Completed Guide to CS3 for both professional and amature student
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book as course requirement for my photoshop class. I never though this would be good as technical information book. My campus boot stores was selling it for about 40-45 dollars. I look for it in the www.half.com but Amazon offers the best deal. It seem like Amazon always offers the best deal for best selling new items.
The book start off as slow from panels design overview. It was a bit boring to read something that you already know ( I did some computer graphic course before and I am thinking about changing my major from computer science to Animation). However, although it was somewhat boring to re-read the panel design overview. This book highlight important shortcut keys and commands in separated window box in the book. It was very handy for me because I couldn't remember all the important shortcut keys and some functions. It would have wasted a lot of time if I have to scan though the texts just to look for something simple as reset button.
This book also cover some graphical term such as coloring and such. But it managed to keep it short and easy to read.
For anybody that wants to learn how to use photoshop likes a professional. I would highly recommend them because this book came with a CD that include photos files to practice for each chapter. This is not boring to read and it included a lot of exercise. When you learn to use software such as Photoshop you are going to need have a lot practice. Otherwise you would remember anything.
I would have buy this book even if I don't have to take this class. And I will not sell back. I will keep it for future reference and when I can afford CS4 I will buy the CS4 version of this book.
Summary of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Studio Techniques
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Studio Techniques has been completely updated to cover the new features in CS3. In a friendly, easy-going style that's long on information and short on techno-babble, Photoshop Hall-of-Famer Ben Willmore guides you through the concepts, features that will truly make a difference in how you use Photoshop every day. He takes you from blindly following step-by-step instructions to an in-depth understanding of how Photoshop works, cutting through the fat to focus on what he considers to be Photoshop's essential features. This full-color book delivers the content in three easily digestible sections: Working Foundations, Production Essentials, and Creative Explorations, and includes a companion CD with bonus chapters and practice images so you can quickly and easily apply the techniques covered throughout. Beginning with the working foundations of Photoshop--the basic tools, palettes, layers, and masks, you'll quickly move on to real-world production techniques, such as how to sharpen scans, correct and optimize images, and use the powerful Curves and Channels features to your advantage. Finally, you'll get to fully explore Photoshop's creative potential by blending and enhancing images, creating collages, retouching photographs, colorizing, and working with filters and layer masks. By the time you finish this book, your creativity and efficiency levels should soar and you'll start to feel like you finally "get" Photoshop.Digital Photography Books
