About this title

Review

Written for intermediate and advanced users of Adobe Photoshop 5 for Macintosh and Windows, Photoshop 5 in Depth offers a clearly written, comprehensive guide to creating, editing, and outputting images for print, the Web, and multimedia projects. Sherry London and David Xenakis thoroughly discuss each feature in Photoshop and explain the technology and history behind the various tools. They also offer detailed advice on using the various tools to achieve just the sort of look you want, whether you're cleaning up and colour-correcting an old, tattered photo that you've scanned in, or creating a fantastic piece of art.

There are plenty of step-by-step instructions in the book's projects, and you work through these using the files on the included CD-ROM. A "Moving On" section sums up each chapter and explains how the next chapter will further your knowledge of Photoshop. A full-colour section in the middle of the book shows a few of the project images, as well as images that have been altered via filters, masking techniques, and colour-correcting options. Helpful illustrations and shortcut tips pepper the book. The companion CD-ROM has free images and clip art, demonstration versions of Adobe After Effects and Illustrator for Windows and Macintosh, and various third-party plug-ins and Web Actions for both platforms. --Kathleen Caster
