Adobe Photoshop: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features is your guide to using Adobe Photoshop to create, edit, and enhance photos and designs. Photoshop is the tool for you, whether you're retouching an image, creating a mimicked chalk drawing, or combining a composite photo with a 3D design—and this book will teach you everything you need to know.
First, you will master the processes required to utilize Photoshop successfully and professionally with a complete Course that comprises a series of projects and lessons produced from Adobe Certified Instructor Steve Laskevitch. There are dozens of lessons that can be used to any graphics you have in mind. You'll be introduced to all of Photoshop's functions in practical applications, as well as its best practices for efficient workflows, through these step-by-step lectures. To complete the Course, we will provide lesson papers and assets for download. These can even be used as jumping-off points for your own projects.
The Compendium will then be used to reveal more of the "how" and "why" of Photoshop for better depth of knowledge and eventual reference. You can find and explore all of Photoshop's essential features and concepts in depth since each topic is easily accessible. The two parts of the book complement each other excellently, with cross references between the Course and the Compendium. Best of all, once the Course's lessons are completed, the Compendium will continue to be useful for months and years to come.
