Master Photoshop CS5 project-by-project!

This week we have a great book called Photoshop CS5 - Essential skills, which we received from Focal Press, the company behind many Media Technology books and ebooks for over 60 years. Focal Press provides essential online resources for professionals and students in many areas including: film and digital video production, photography, digital imaging, graphics, animation and new media, broadcast and media distribution technologies, music recording and production, mass communications, and theater technology.

The Story

About the book:

The first section of the book is a foundation module designed to help the user establish an effective working environment and act as a guide for successful navigation through the image-editing process from capture to print. Emphasis is placed on the essential techniques and skills whilst the terminology is kept as simple as possible, using only those terms in common usage.

The subsequent modules extend and build on the basic skills to provide the user with the essential techniques to enable creative and skillful image editing. The guides explore creative application including advanced retouching, photomontage, vector graphics, special effects and preparing images for the web.

Creative practical tasks, using a fully illustrated and simple step-by-step approach, are undertaken in each of the guides to allow the user to explore the creative possibilities and potential for each of the skills being offered.

Full review of the book you will be able to read next week, when we'll also have a great competition, where you can win one of the five free copies, which Focal Press are giving away.
