ESSENTIAL COLOR OPTIMIZATION in Photoshop CS3.
This 110-page e-book explains all the things you need to know about the core Photoshop color commands and the tools we use to define and measure color. In the tutorials the most essential content is highlighted in bold italic, so you can choose whether to skim them or follow in-depth. It's written by a professional retoucher who also teaches the subject, using the techniques every working day. All the 'recipes' are proven to work, and there are no missing ingredients. The step-by-step tutorials follow a natural progression, so you can advance your skills gradually. The logic behind the method is explained clearly, without gratuitous jargon. Advanced Photoshop users can easily skim through, but for those who have the patience to look at each command in-depth, it's all there. It's easy to cross-reference the most important points via internal links. Page-hopping this way is ideal when screen viewing, and you can also print it out hi-res. |
