Product Overview

Adobe® Photoshop® is the must-have image editing software for graphics professionals and amateur photographers alike. This comprehensive, engaging and professionally produced training DVD uses a logical, step-by-step approach to take the pain out of learning Photoshop® CS4 (including all the new features) and CS3. Photoshop® guru Mark Schlesinger takes you through everything from editing photos to creating complex, multi-layered designs and illustrations and, in the process, passes on a vast array of invaluable tips and tricks.

It’s easy to either progress through the complete course or jump straight to a particular topic. The DVD starts with the basics, including the toolbar, screen modes, and how to open and save documents, and then breaks down the software into key subjects such as "Working with Masks" and "Painting Tools". Each subject is then broken down into interesting sub-sections. For example, "Painting Tools" is sub-divided into "Working With Colour", "Fill and Gradients", "The Brush and Pencil Tools" and "The Eraser Tools".

All of the new CS4 features are covered in depth, making this DVD the quickest way to get up to speed on the latest Photoshop enhancements, including the new tabbed interface for improved usability, the revolutionary Content-Aware Scaling feature for perfect cropping, improved toning tools and all the other new and enhanced features.
