Adobe Photoshop has become the tool of choice for professional photographers,designers, and amateur enthusiasts. But it's a complex application with many features-and scant information on how to use them to best advantage. A case in point: there are 100 built-in filters in Photoshop, designed to enable the user to easily make subtle or dramatic image adjustments, and there is very little online help available with the application, and no printed manual. Users can spend hours trying to use filters effectively-an inefficient and often frustrating way to work.
In Photoshop Filter Effects Encyclopedia, author and educator Roger Pring explains and decodes the settings of every filter that Photoshop CS2 has to offer, from Artistic filters such as Colored Pencil, Cutout, and Watercolor to Stylize filters like Bevel, Emboss, and Extrude. And, unlike many reference books that give you a lot of information you'll never need, it is filled with easy-to-follow, step-by-step, practical recipes for creating truly amazing effects, such as:
<ul>
<li>Creating selective focus</li>
<li>Simulating motion blur</li>
<li>Adding special lens and filter effects</li>
<li>Working with tone and color</li>
<li>Creating dramatic solarized and posterized images</li>
<li>Working with artificial lighting</li>
<li>Simulating textures</li>
<li>Creating multi-layered images and photomontages</li>
<li>Reproducing graphic arts effects</li>
</ul>and much more.The best part is that you don't have to be a Photoshop expert to create sophisticated, professional-looking results-the recipes take the guesswork out of the process, so you can work quickly and efficiently. Packed with hundreds of full-color photographs, clearly written instructions, and practical tips, this book is the ultimate, no-nonsense Photoshop CS2 Filters reference for creative photographers, designers, and artists.

The ultimate rich resource for amazing type design with Photoshop. Nothing can ruin a stunning piece of art quicker than finishing it off with poorly executed type effects.

The book is organized into two general parts: a contextualizing introduction; and the actual encyclopedia, with rich illustrations of what each effect looks like, how to create the effect (including screenshots and other illustrations showing the step-by-step progress of each effect), and how to do your own variations of the effect. Each page is easy to read and follow, yet is packed with information.

Consulting this directory will make life infinitely easier for anyone who wants to get the best results from using color along the information superhighway. While computer technology has improved color fidelity between original and reproduction, designers must be aware of new obstacles it has presented—not the least of which is that chosen colors may not carry through as displayed on the screen. This manual offers expert advice on optimizing image palettes by manipulating “safe” colors to gain control over the end result—no matter what operating system displays it. Extensive examples show the best color work on the Web today, with tips for both what and what not to do to achieve such fine results.

www.type concentrates on design issues; in contrast to the various technical manuals available, the focus here is on the look of type and its functional appropriateness. The opening section explores the different type possibilities for various kinds of Web sites, whether personal, informational, institutional, advertising or - perhaps hardest of all - hybrid sites that need to have more than one function. The latter part of the book is given over to a showcase of the top 300 sites for type design, each with a full examination of how its type works for both style and purpose, and how readers might apply the same rules to their type design for the internet.
