Author Description

From the Back Cover Each CD provides three to six hours of narrated instruction, divided into modules lasting one to seven minutes. The modules range from basic operations to advanced case studies. Using Training on CD is easy: You can instantly jump into, out of, forward, or backward in any module. As you complete the modules, the program keeps track of your progress. In addition, each Training on CD provides a command reference and a hyperlinked index, allowing you to jump from an index directly into a demonstration of the topic. Photoshop topics covered include: setting up, scanning, color manipulation, color modes, selections and masks, retouching, filters, calculations, printing, saving, and exporting. Other topics include: real-world examples--from book jackets to stereograms to old-photo retouching, special effects such as stone textures and neon lights, and a guided tour through three filter sets--Kai's Power Tools, Alien Skin, and Gallery FX.
