Photographers often feel overwhelmed when starting with Photoshop; the sheer number of tools and options make it difficult for the novice. There is no shortage of instructional books, yet very few direct the user to the most significant aspects of the program in a way that reflects a real workflow.
Adobe Certified Instructor Steve Laskevitch has leveraged his experience as a teacher and practitioner to create Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3: A Photographer's Handbook—a step-by-step guide that provides a clear and effective workflow for editing photographs in the latest version of Photoshop and its companions Bridge, Camera Raw, and Lightroom. Focusing on the critical elements of the workflow rather than covering every arcane feature, this handbook is designed to get you working quickly in these applications.
Use Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3: A Photographer's Handbook to:
- Educate yourself or others in the tools and processes used to "develop" photographs in CS5
- Learn a practical and robust workflow for editing images: organizing, cleanup, global and targeted adjustments, and creative effects
- Learn specific techniques through step-by-step instructions, as well as the principles to develop your own unique practices
