For decades, graphic design and photography professionals have turned to Adobe Photoshop: Visual QuickStart Guide as the fastest, most practical way to start creating professional-quality images with Photoshop. Now, this full-color guide has been thoroughly revamped by a new author who's taught thousands of beginning Photoshop users. Nigel French combines expert, full-color introductions to the latest Photoshop features with new examples and projects, adding five full hours of new online video content that goes far beyond the contents of the printed book.
Combining definitive reference information with concise, hands-on tutorials, French helps aspiring and current professionals gain deep mastery of Photoshop, whether they're working on their own or in a classroom environment. From the basics to advanced techniques, he guides you through everything from editing photos' tone and color to retouching blemishes, restoring old and damaged images to creating stunning composites, to preparing images for both digital and print delivery.
