The Photoshop Elements 10 Book for Digital Photographers

The Photoshop Elements 10 Book for Digital Photographers

Book Description

This book breaks new ground by doing something for photographers that's never been done before—it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly " do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done—it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. If you're looking for one of those "tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Mask-filter" books, this isn't it. You can grab any other Elements book on the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and printing your photos like a pro. You'll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are—once you know the secrets.

LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT
Each year we train thousands of photographers and, almost without exception, they have the same questions and face the same problems—that's exactly what we cover in this book.

You'll learn:

  • The real secrets of how the pros retouch portraits
  • color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (you'll be amazed at how the pros do it!)
  • How to use Raw for processing not only RAW photos, but JPEGs and TIFFs, too! (And you'll learn why so many pros like it best—because it's faster and easier)
  • The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there's an entire chapter just on this!)
  • How to deal with common digital image problems, including removing noise and avoiding halos
  • The most requested photographic special effects, and much more!

THE BOOK'S WEAPON
Although Elements 10 offers some digital features that Photoshop doesn't offer, there are plenty of features that Photoshop has that Elements 10 still doesn't have (things like paths, Channel Mixer, etc.). But in this book, you'll learn some slick workarounds, cheats, and some fairly ingenious ways to replicate many of those Photoshop features from right within Elements. Plus, since this book is designed for photographers, it doesn't waste your time talking about how to frame a , set your exposure, etc., and there's no talk about which camera or printer to buy. It's all Elements, , cover to cover, in the only book of its kind, and you're gonna love it!

Table of Contents
Chapter 1. Organized Chaos: Managing Photos Using the Organizer
Chapter 2. Raw Justice: Processing Your Images Using Camera Raw
Chapter 3. Scream of the Crop: How to Resize and Crop Photos
Chapter 4. Jonas Sees in Color: Color Correction Secrets
Chapter 5. Little Problems: Fixing Common Problems
Chapter 6. Select Start: Selection Techniques
Chapter 7. Retouch Me: Retouching Portraits

Thou Shall Not Use Comic Sans

Thou Shall Not Use Comic Sans

Book Description

Ask any graphic designer the world over about their preferred approach to setting type, choosing a color, or beginning a new layout, and you will rarely get exactly the same answer twice. All designers have their own way of working and their own combinations of the thousands of techniques one can apply when planning a new project. But there are some dos and don’ts that always figure in any heated debate about what one should or should not accept as the right way to create the best graphic .

This book looks at key dos and don’ts, bringing them together in the form of a classically structured almanac. Packed with practical advice, but presented in a light-hearted fashion, the advisory rather than dictative approach means designers can take or leave the advice presented in each rule as is typical of most creatives with their own strong views on what does and does not constitute good practice. Individual entries will either bring forth knowing nods of agreement or hoots of derision, depending on whether or not the reader loves or hates hyphenation, has a pathological fear of beige, or thinks that baseline grids are boring.

Thou Shall Not Use Comic Sans is the must-have collection of the best advice that any graphic designer should have at his fingertips, with each entry combining a specific rule with a commentary from a variety of experienced designers from all fields of the graphic design industry. Grouped into six, color-coded categories–typography, color, layout, imagery, production, and the practice of design–but presented numerically and in mixed groups, the reader can either dip in at random or use the book as the source of a daily lesson in produce great graphic design.

InDesign CS / CS2 Killer Tips

InDesign CS / CS2 Killer Tips

Book Description

If you’ve wondered how the InDesign pros get twice the work done in half the time, here’s the answer: They know every inside , every hidden keyboard shortcut, and every little that gives them the edge. They know the fastest, smartest, and most efficient way to do just about everything. In short, they know all the “tricks of the trade.” And now, you can too.

This book is packed cover-to-cover, wall-to-wall with nothing but those cool little inside tips that can make you faster, better, and have more fun using CS2. There are no detailed descriptions on working with hyphenation dictionaries, or long boring discussions on color workflow, it’s just tips–short, sweet, and to the point.

So why just tips? When we (you, me, etc.) look at books, if we see the word “” we’re all immediately drawn to it. That’s because we know we’re about to learn something really cool. Maybe it’s an undocumented keyboard shortcut, a hidden inside , or just a faster, better way to do something we do every day. The only problem with the tips in these books is there’s never enough of ‘em. That is, until now.

We wanted to create a book that is nothing but these tips, hundreds of tips, but with the added bonus that each tip would have a full color graphic along with it, showing you exactly how it’s done. Most importantly, to get in this book they’ve got to be “Killer Tips.” The kind of tip that makes you smile, nod, and then call all your friends and “tune them up” with your new status as InDesign guru.

This book is your ticket to working faster and smarter in CS2 than you ever thought you could, and best of all, you’ll have a blast doing it.
