In "Texture Effects," you will explore how to use texture overlays to create dramatic effects. You will see how to turn a figure to stone as well as how to create textures of wood, stone, metal, glass and plastic. Finally, in presentation effects you will learn how to create a frame, paint boarders, uses a signature, monogram a custom brush, use vignette effects or create a photo that comes out of its frame.
While you don't have to be an expert to use these recipes, it will help if you have experience enough to get around in Photoshop. The author runs you through basics, but understanding the fundamentals will have you creating very sophisticated effects in no time. I really liked the step-by-step instruction and the full color examples that were provided. The book is well laid out with great visual aids to guide you throughout.
