Photoshop 5 in Depth Book

Provides the most lucid and complete volume of its type, a practical how-to that never loses the designer's perspective of Photoshop as the key program in the production process. Takes the mystery out of new Photoshop functions, including layers, channels, selections, color corrections, prepress, integration with other applications, and preparing images for the Web. Presents materials in a linear format with chapters addressed to individual topics, allowing readers to select according to their needs and skill level. Includes icons, informative sidebars, diagrams, and reference tables for ready-to-access information. Features a 64-page Color Studio section with full-color illustrations.
