The Photoshop 4 Wow! Book : Tips, Tricks, & Techniques for Adobe Photoshop 4 : Windows Edition - Linnea Dayton, Jack Davis; Paperback
_______________The Photoshop 4 Wow! Book : Tips, Tricks, & Techniques for Adobe Photoshop 4 : MacIntosh Edition - Linnea Dayton, Jack Davis; Paperback
Everyone from beginner to advanced users can find guidance on creating excellent effects in Photoshop 4.0,.
The Photoshop 4 Wow! Book teaches you how to paint; use filters; create special effects; manage selections and layers; correct photos; create montages and collages; work with Illustrator and Photoshop together; and output
your work for 3-D, multimedia, and Web applications.
Each chapter is broken down into discrete tips, and is presented on one, two, or three laid out, full-color pages, making use and application simple. For example, you
might jump from the tip on "using images to make selections" in the second chapter ("Selections, Masks, Layers, and
Channels") to "chiseling" in the eighth chapter ("Graphics Special Effects").
The initial chapters are pretty basic, offering an
introduction to Photoshop's interface and various digital-imaging and memory-management issues, moving through to the more advanced capabilities.
Most of the tips include suggestions for producing your own variations on the artwork presented.
Galleries show artwork produced by several Photoshop experts, along with explanations of how each artist produced his or her effects.
CD-ROM
The bundled CD-ROM has stock photos; demo versions of filter software; demo versions of Adobe packages, such as
Photoshop PageMaker, Premiere, and Illustrator; and ready-made Actions (Photoshop's batch processes) that run special
effects. There's both a Windows' and Macintosh edition of this book, which is identical except for keyboard commands and the
platform-specific advice in the first chapter.
Book Description :
This hands-on guide provides "click and drag" presentations of painterly, photorealistic, and special effects techniques.
Hundreds of time-and work-saving tips are covered as well. An all-new chapter on Web graphics and techniques explores the
special considerations that this medium entails. The book is heavily illustrated throughout showing real-life projects created by top Photoshop artists.
Synopsis:
The Photoshop 4 Wow! Book (for both platforms) is the top-selling Photoshop book with 238,000 currently in print. This new edition, expanded and updated for version 4, continues to set new standards for clarity and creativity in computer publishing.
From The Author, Linnea Dayton , 02/06/98:
Hello - I just wanted to encourage readers who buy the book to check out the Wow! Actions (in the Wow! Goodies folder on
the CD-ROM). Jack has come up with more than 60 "one-click" macros for painterly and photographic effects, as well as
graphics special effects for bevels, carving, chrome, crystal, brushed steel, drop and cast shadows, and so on. And with the
comping photos provided by PhotoDisc, you can run each Action on the appropriate photo, compare the result to the poster of
examples that's bound into the back of the book, and then dissect the finished file. We've left the files with layers, Adjustment layers, masks, and channels intact, so you can see how the effect is accomplished. The Actions can of course be applied to your own files - singly or in batches. "Stop" steps in the Actions guide you in making entries in dialog boxes for the Action steps. So you can change filter and other settings - for instance, if you want a stronger effect, or if your file is significantly larger or smaller than the sample. So don't forget to check out the Actions! --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title.

The Photoshop WOW! book show many of the basic tools in Photoshop, but its main value is the special effect department..."

avideditor@usa.net (Daniel O'Hara) from Santa Barbara, California , 10/07/97, rating=10: "The best software tutorial book I have ever read. I have bought a lot of books on different software and computer related subjects. Adobe Press and the “Classroom In A Series” books are the best of the best.... They design their books with full color pages. Every page in this book is color, and when you are trying to learn how to color correct a photograph, this is vitally important... I found I would read one or two chapters a session and then take a break. This is important simply because the amount of information they present is so in-depth. If you want to learn Adobe Photoshop, BUY THIS BOOK."

Photoshop 4 for Windows 95 Bible Deke McClelland, Julie King / Paperback / Published 1997
Looking for step-by-step guide to Photoshop 4 ? This is it. This time the readers comments are mine. I have taught myself HTML, Visual Basic, PaintShop Pro, and Java using "how to" or "Teach Yourself" or "Learn X in 39 Days" and in the process have discovered why some books work and others don't. In reality books which teach you how to produce an X a Y or a Z miss the point. What you need to know is how to use the product or language to produce anything you and it might become capable of. Thats what this book does, you learn to understand Photoshop, what it can achieve, what the tools do and why and in what combination. If you are serious about image effects then this is for you. If you are seeking a book becuase you want to create a few bits of fancy text or other set outcomes then other books may be more suited

I purchased this book over Adobe's own info book in part due to reviews I read here on the Amazon website.
- A reader from NY, USA , 10/29/97, rating=10:
Excellent coverage..With mere days left until I planned to start working in a professional graphics shop, I began reading this book cover-to-cover. Within a week, having worked through the examples, I felt confident that I could perform any task necessary within the Photoshop environment. The examples are practical and cover a wide range of topics from image retouching to web graphics design and optimization. The novice user shies away from layers and masks. This book tackles them directly and immediately, giving you familiarity with the basic---and most powerful---tools in Photoshop from the very beginning....."

"An information superstore for design techniques.
This is a powerful and challenging book. This is an excellent book for both beginning and advanced users of Adobe's
Photoshop 4.0. Although the publishers stated user level is accomplished to advanced, I believe that even novice users will find this book as useful as advanced users. The book assumes a basic understanding of Photoshop, and quickly progresses into
advanced techniques, tips, final effects and editing methods.

in the book is part of the tutorials on the disks and step-by-step instructions follow you to fruition of your creations...."
