Adobe Photoshop CS2 Breakthroughs (2005)

Overview

Adobe Photoshop is industry standard digital image software and users are hungry for solutions to their myriad concerns--from how best to manage the program's sometimes unwieldy interface to how to use the new Vanishing Point tool. Photoshop guru David Blatner has scoured the online forums, interviewed Adobe engineers, and gathered together answers to over 200 of the most-commonly asked questions. Written in a sassy, fun-to-read style, this book tackles every major Photoshop problem with a lay-it-on-the-line solution. Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2 Breakthroughs is for anyone who has been using Photoshop long enough to realize that the solution to their problems isn't always as obvious as one would expect.

Introduction

HEY BUDDY, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? No, wait, we're not trying to be obnoxious; we really do want to know what your problem iswell, as long as it involves Adobe Photoshop. After all, that is our job: listening to problems and coming up with breakthrough solutions.

In fact, we've spent much of the past couple of years listening to seminar attendees about their problems, teaching new and advanced users, working with clients, reading online Photoshop forums, and talking with other Photoshop trainers. We discovered that there are certain questions that are asked over and over againquestions about resolution, opening Camera Raw files, adjusting tone and color, saving files to disk. . .

This book is a compendium of those commonly encountered problems, andmore importantlytheir solutions! Some solutions are simple, such as pointing out a feature that you might never have known about. Other solutions are complex, requiring multi-step procedures and waving witchbane around your head while standing on one foot.

A few solutions involve problems with Photoshop CS which were fixed in Photoshop CS2, while some are more concerned with new problems that popped up in this most recent version. Most of the solutions in this book are applicable to both CS and CS2.

Of course, with all this talk about problems and solutions, you might get the feeling that we think Photoshop is buggy or causes headaches. No way: We love Photoshop and it is among the most stable, functional pieces of software we own. But we've been around long enough to know that all software has bugsand they usually bite you just before a big deadline. And every major application can cause you to reach for the Ibuprofen at the end of a long day.

Photoshop is the best image-editing software we've ever used (and we've used a lot of them), but if you don't encounter any frustrations with it, then you're just not working hard enough.
How to Read This Book

As much as we'd love to fly out to [insert name of your city here] and sit by your side as you work, we just can't right now. That's where this book comes in: Each chapter of this book covers an area we know people have problems withorganizing myriad images, for instance, or keeping color consistent. We don't expect you to read the whole thing cover to cover. Rather, skip around the book, gathering what you need when you need it.

You might strategically leave this book wherever you go when you have a major problem: For David, it's next to the refrigerator. Conrad prefers a nook at his local coffee house.
