Book Reviews of Photoshop® Studio Secrets
Book Review: Waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
Like many of Deke M's books, this one is maximimised with dross in a effort to convince you to hand over your hard earned cash. Much of this book is a rehash of Phtsp 5, and i don't recommend that either. Macllelands aim here is to make money for himself and his publishers. If anyone is interested in a author who writes books on Photoshop, who is interested in teaching you amazing techniques, rather than spinning out the manual....look into Bert Monroys books, for a long time i spun my wheels geting caught in the trap of writers and pundits like Deke, who really have nothing to offer except a padding out of 23 pages of matieral into 500 in order to convince you to send your money his way. Then i finally found some real educators, wizards (like mentioned earlier) where my knowledge went from zero to hero with every single paragraph...and the books became more engrossing and enchanting every sentence right to the end....where one was exhausted with the extent one learned. I strongly advise readers to avoid Maclelland and his ilk...and look further

If you're proficient in Photoshop 5.0 but need some help making your fine art finer and your commercial art slicker, turn to this book. Each chapter highlights the approach and output of 21 artists (including coauthor Eisman) in a handsome full-color layout.
Part 1 focuses on general techniques: moving from sketch to final graphic, incorporating stock photos, mimicking natural media, making 3-D characters, creating distortions and type effects, and layering. Part 2 focuses on specific applications: high-res (high-resolution) imaging for ads, fine-art printing, fashion photography, QuickTime virtual reality (VR), digital cameras, Web images, and buttons.
You learn the specific techniques the artists used to create the impressive images and get general tips from the artists as well as the history and inspiration behind each creation. Each project enables you to use Photoshop to its fullest, and often in rather original ways. The book is for both Windows and Mac users. A companion CD-ROM contains artwork from the book's examples. --Kathleen Caster
