Product Description

From Amazon

If you're the kind of person who'd rather read the telephone directory than a software manual then Adobe Photoshop 6.0 Classroom in a Book could be just what you need to get to grips with the latest version of the world's best image-editing software.

Seventeen project-based "lessons" take you through every aspect of Photoshop. The book starts with the basics--the revamped interface, selection tools and working with layers--and then moves on to more involved projects like retouching, using the new vector shape and clipping path features, advanced layer management and special effects. Each lesson begins with a clear introduction and finishes with a brief review section which is a good way of assessing how much you've learned and whether you need to go over anything.

Anyone who is, or wants to be a Photoshop pro must eventually tackle colour management and two lessons are devoted to this difficult subject. "Setting Up Your Monitor For Colour Management" examines the principles of colour management and shows you how to calibrate and create an ICC colour profile for your monitor using the Adobe Gamma control panel. "Producing and Printing Consistent colour" deals with proofing images on a CMYK PostScript printer and creating colour separations for commercial printing, there is also a chapter devoted to spot colour printing. The remainder of the book deals with producing Web graphics using ImageReady 3.0.

While it lacks the depth of some of the other Photoshop tomes this is probably one of the most effective courses there is for beginners and intermediate users. --Ken McMahon

Review

"This is arguably the authoritative guide to the latest version of Photoshop - among professionals, that is. The book is well written and easy to read with simple-to-follow examples. The quality of the printing is superb."Computer shopper, September 2001

I received my purchase 2 weeks late. And I thought I was ordering a "very good" condition book and I received a mangled book. I was just happy to get it, finally.

Tracy Lord (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop 6.0 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

If you want the practice and need a step-by-step lesson, this is a good book. I did want the step-by-step practice, and I'm still glad I bought the book. However, it only tells you what to do. It's not very good at explaining why you're doing it or what exactly the overall effect will be. Also, any tool, filter, etc. that you don't learn about in the lessons, you don't really learn about at all. I think it's a great book for practice, but it's probably best used in conjunction with another book that doesn't have lessons but gives a better explanation of the tools, what they do, and when and why to use them. An example is probably Photoshop 6 For Dummies. I haven't bought it yet, but I've looked through it, and I think it will be helpful if used along with Classroom in a Book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent starting point, Feb 19 2003

D. Holden "macbug" (CORONA, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop 6.0 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

First, let me say that it is very easy to pick apart any book that attempts to introduce a beginner to such a complex application program as Photoshop6. I am not an expert on Photoshop but I have invested a lot of time and money learning how to use it effectively in web development. This is an very cost effective approach to learning some of the useful features that Photoshop offers to the artist both in the Print media and the electronic web pallet.
Just remember this is starting point Photoshop is an life long pursuit if you are trying produce original quality work. If you can find a good copy used. It will be a reference book that you will continue to use years after you complete the exercises in it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book
I found this book to be a good solid hands-on "text-book". The hands-on lessons made sense. The lessons explained what you were doing as you were doing it. Read more
