The 14 project-based lessons in this book show students step-by-step the key techniques for working in Photoshop CS5. In addition to learning the key elements of the Photoshop interface, they'll learn how to edit images with precise selection control, correct a wide range of lens-based errors, interactively transform their images with the new Puppet Warp tool, and easily remove or replace image elements with the new Content-Aware Fill mode. The book also covers new powerful painting effects to artistically enhance images and shows how to combine multiple exposures into a single HDR image. The companion DVD-ROM includes sample project files for students to use as they work their way through the lessons in the book, as well as video training from Learn Adobe Photoshop CS5 by Video (9780321719805).
