Video Training Review - Wacom Tablets & Photoshop CS3 With Colin Smith And Weston Maggio From PhotoshopCAFE - Page 2

Part of: The Enlightened Image

Lesson 17 covers the use of cloning with in Photoshop CS3, especially all the ways to use the new Clone Source Palette. Lesson 18 will show you how to create Black and White images from your color photos. You will see how to use the Black and White Filter to make sepia image and then how to make your subject in color.

Lesson 19 will show you how to use Dodging and Burning to bring out the best in your images. Here you will focus on the proper technique, as well as when and where to use these techniques. Lesson 20 covers how to take a photograph and turn it into an image that looks hand painted. Finally Lesson 21 will show you how to create an action that can be used over and over again without having to repeat the same steps over and over.

There are a lot of things to like about Wacom Tablets & Photoshop CS3. First and foremost is the quality of the training. It is clear, concise, and to the point. It gives you detailed explanation on the setup and use of the Wacom Tablet. This is primarily handled by Wes Maggio.

Then the use of the tablet with Photoshop is handled by Colin Smith. It is nice that this has been competently updated to reflect the changes in Photoshop CS3. Finally, I think that the easy to load and use interface is one of the best on the market. It puts everything you need at your fingertips. If you own a Wacom Tablet and are having problems setting it up and using it, or you are planning to buy a Wacom Tablet, then Wacom Tablets & Photoshop CS3 is a recommended add-on to save you time and effort.

The retail price of Wacom Tablets & Photoshop CS3 is $39.99 USD and can be purchased from PhotoshopCAFE. I highly recommend this video if you want to get the most from Adobe Photoshop CS3 and your Wacom Tablet.
