Photoshop In A Day by Duncan Wherrett contains more than 560 pages of Photoshop tutorials written in jargon-free language. It consists of two parts. The first part covers the basics of working with Photoshop and is aimed at beginners. Even those who have never worked with this program before will find these step-by-step tutorials comprehensive and easy-to-follow. The second part explains more advanced techniques that will be helpful for experienced Photoshop users. The manual describes work with the latest version of Photoshop (CS 4) as well as previous versions, explaining the differences between them.
Each tutorial contains numbered tasks that are clearly explained and accompanied with images for better understanding. New instruments and techniques are introduced gradually, based on previous tutorials, to make your learning process easier and to avoid confusion. With Photoshop In A Day, you will learn every Photoshop tool, including layers, filters and effects; blending techniques; differences between file formats; enhancing images with toning, curves, hue, and saturation; organizing your workspace and saving the presets; creating animation sequences; and much more. The index and table of contents let you use Photoshop In A Day as a reference guide. Everything you need to know about Photoshop is here in this comprehensive, easy to use guide.
I could never understand all those learned tutorials, they just messed everything up in my head... But this one is different! Everything is so clear, even my 5 year old son can do that! I call myself Photo Pro now)
