Photoshop Workbook, The: Professional Retouching and Compositing Tips, Tricks, and Techniques 1. udgave

The Photoshop Workshop: Advanced Retouching and Compositing Tips, Tricks, and Techniques is a professional-level Photoshop book that focuses on the Photoshop techniques that photographer and retoucher Glyn Dewis has become well known for. Combining compositing work and special effects in Photoshop has lead to Glyn's signature look, which readers want to know how to replicate.

The book is divided into two parts, and it mirrors Glyn's approach to teaching his popular workshop on the same subject matter. The first part is made up of individual Photoshop techniques and "disciplines," such as selections and lighting effects, mastering the pen tool and using Color Range, and creating light beams and realistic shadows. He also devotes entire chapters to blend mode techniques and special effects.

Of course, it?s one thing to know the techniques, but it?s a whole other thing to know how and when to apply them, and in what order. Without this vital info, the reader has a bag of tricks without knowing how to use them. Recognizing that the real skill in this kind of Photoshop work is knowing how and when to combine these techniques, Glyn teaches that exact skill in the second part of this book, as he brings all those techniques together in project-based, real-world examples. Bringing together the techniques and the workflow equips the reader to learn exactly how to create and pull off these great compositing and retouching techniques.
