Win a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS in 10 Simple Steps or Less
Thanks to Christopher Schmitt, who co-authored this book with Micah Laaker, and Wiley we've got 5 copies of this book to giveaway in another week long book competition.
Christopher Schmitt is a well-known author and Web designer who has written for a wide variety of publications on and off-line. In this book he and his co-author provide clear instructions on how to carry out over 250 Photoshop tasks. By breaking the tasks down into units of ten steps or less and using oodles of screen shots this book will have you to cropping, merging, shadowing and filtering in no time.
Winners will be announced on August 19th, so fingers on the buzzers and here we go. This book is all about creating neat Web graphics, so just drop us an email here with the URL of the best looking still image Web site (no animations, videos or Flash movies this time please) that you know of. Winning entries to be decided on the aesthetic judgement of the DMXzone content editor – so that's pretty random
Ian Blackham
Following a degree in Chemistry and a doctorate in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Ian spent several years wrestling with acronyms in industrial R&D (SEM with a side order of EDS, AFM and TEM augmented with a topping of XPS and SIMS and yet more SEM and TEM).
Feeling that he needed a career with more terminology but less high voltages, Ian became a technical/commissioning editor with Wrox Press working on books as diverse as Beg VB Application Development and Professional Java Security. After Wrox's dissolution and a few short term assignments Ian became content manager at DMXzone.
Ian is a refugee from the industrial Black Country having slipped across the border to live in Birmingham. In his spare time he helps out with the website of a local history society, tries to makes sure he does what his wife Kate says, and worries that the little 'un Noah is already more grown up than he is.
