Adobe Photoshop CS Down and Dirty Tricks

As a relatively experienced Photoshop user, the last thing you need is another Photoshop volume rehashing masking, pixels, file formats, etc. What you need-and this volume delivers-is an inspirational tome that reveals the secrets behind all those jaw-dropping effects you've been eyeing. In this beautiful, four-color volume, the busiest man in the Photoshop business, Scott Kelby, reveals all of his Photoshop CS tricks, including ones that take advantage of this version's newest features: the enhanced File Browser, integration with Adobe Raw, color match, and more. Each two-page spread includes step-by-step instructions (each of which is accompanied by a graphic) for creating a Photoshop effect (producing a credit card from a photo, adding flames to anything) as well as productivity-enhancing tips in the margins. You'll find instructions for creating metal and chrome effects, type treatments, photographic effects, advertising effects, and more. Along the way, you'll encounter all kinds of ideas, advice, and techniques-all aimed at helping you unleash your creativity.
