Photoshop 7 professional photographic techniques - Janee Aronoff

This volume reveals not only how to recreate darkroom techniques without turning out the lights, but also how to create images well beyond traditional barriers.;Fully illustrated in colour throughout, the text is organized into a series of examples that provides a comprehensive guide to image manipulation on Photoshop 7 - everything from the glamour of magazine retouching, through restoration work to the nitty-gritty of colour reproduction. Because the authors remember the days before Photoshop existed, they can show you how to achieve chemical-free equivalents for all the old tricks as well as plenty of new ones.;All these methods are revealed with before and after examples that you can actually follow and apply to your own work. These include depth of field changes, colouring in a black and white image, various restorations, art projects, pre-press work and more.;The emphasis is on techniques that will help you produce work that stands head and shoulders above the crowd, rather than a gallery of the authors' projects.
