Book Review: Real World Adobe Photoshop CS3 By David Blatner, Conrad Chavez, and Bruce Frasier - Page 3

Part of: The Enlightened Image

Chapter 11, "Essential Image Techniques," is a chapter that gives a lot of techniques that allow your images to soar. This is basically a potpourri of tips and tricks that will not only make your images better, but speed up processing as well. Chapter 12, "Image Storage and Output," provides methods of output for those professional images that you are now creating for both printed as well as online destinations.

Real World Adobe Photoshop CS3 is well thought out and well executed. It is definitely a must-own for anyone who wants to get to the nuts and bolts of working with Photoshop. There are hundreds of tips that can be found in the 700 plus pages. Keep in mind that this is not a book on how to use Photoshop - instead, it is a book about how to understand Photoshop once you know how to use it.

Real World Adobe Photoshop CS3 shows from chapter one that nothing is going to be glossed over. Everything is covered in depth and with the precision of laser surgery. It is not a book for the neophyte or the person who, because they had the few extra bucks, bought Photoshop instead of Elements. Rather, it is for the person who works with Photoshop and purchased Photoshop because they need the power. If you are that kind of user, or want to be that kind of user, then Real World Adobe Photoshop CS3 is a must own.
