"Do you really understand the advantages of making a colorbased selection and when it is appropriate? Which Photoshp tool best adjusts perspective in a photograph? Do you know how to truly exploit Photoshop 4's new Adjustment Layers feature? And do you know which of the five Render filters best integrates its effects? Author Daniel Girodan answers these questions - and many more. Unlike most photoshop guides, Dynamic Photoshop doesn't just show you the program's various palettes and menus, reviewing the main commands. Instead, you'll learn not only the how, but also the when and why of using different Photoshop features. You'll gain the skills and expertise that will help you create sophisticated and original designs - and streamline your work." "Within Dynamic Photoshop's three sections, you'll explore ways to adjust lighting and color cast, create haloed and other speical effects, and make seamless composities. Other topics covered include making intelligent selections, working with filters and masks, and optimizing Photshop graphics for the World Wide Web. Recipe sections interspersed throughout the book provide step-by-step instructions for creating stunning Photoshop effects."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
