Pioneering computer graphics author Deke McClelland updates his bestselling
hands-on tutorial for Adobe Photoshop CS3, the latest version of this industry-standard
image editing and production program. As with previous editions, Photoshop
CS3 One-on-One guides readers step by step through the program's features
and functionality. A key appeal of the One-on-One series is the two hours of
DVD-video material included. Once you read about a particular technique, you
can see how it's done first hand in the video. The combination is uniquely effective.
And hugely popular.
Whether you're a first-timer looking to learn Photoshop, or a seasoned user
interested in the groundbreaking features of CS3, Deke's conversational style
and carefully structured lessons guide you through everything you need to know
to get up and running, and then takes you well into mastery. You'll learn to:
- Grasp fundamental and advanced concepts and theory
- Use best practices, and techniques for making the most of Photoshop CS3
- Build relevant, real-world projects
- Use Photoshop's workflow and file handling features
- Use the combined power of Bridge + Camera Raw to process your digital photos
- Choose the right technique for converting your images to black & white
- Create beautiful multilayered documents including posters and flyers
- And much more
A Photoshop expert, sought-after computer graphics and design lecturer and
author of over 70 books, Deke creates a classroom environment in Photoshop
CS3 One-on-One with written instruction and video training -- except that
you get one-on-one attention as you proceed from lesson to lesson at your own
pace. It's like having private lessons with the author.
Whether you're an enthusiast, prosumer, creative pro, technical pro, or newcomer,
Deke's book will have you speaking fluent Photoshop CS3 in no time.
About the Author
Electronic publishing pioneer Deke McClelland is a popular lecturer on Adobe
Photoshop and the larger realm of computer graphics and design. He has hosted
the interactive "Video Workshop" CD that shipped with Photoshop Versions
7, CS, and CS2, as well as hundreds of hours of tutorial-style video training
for industry leaders lynda.com and Total Training. In addition to his video
work, Deke has written 84 books translated into 24 languages, with more than
4 million copies in print.
One of the most award-winning writers in the technology market, Deke received
the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Computer Book in 1989. Since then, he has
garnered more than 20 honors, including seven independent citations from the
Computer Press Association. In 2002, he was inducted into the Photoshop Hall

In 2004 Deke created the One-on-One™ book series, which uses video, step-by-step
exercises, and hundreds of full-color illustrations to provide readers with
the closest thing possible to private instruction from a recognized expert.
These ambitious, self-paced guides include the bestselling Adobe Photoshop CS2
One-on-One and Adobe InDesign CS2 One-on-One. Late in 2006 Deke teamed up with
vanguard online training company lynda.com to bring the One-on-One training
strategy to a line of video products, beginning with Photoshop CS3 Beta One-on-One

addition to the full 20-plus hour Photoshop CS3 One-on-One, his plans include
Illustrator One-on-One and InDesign One-on-One. Among Deke’s current lynda.com
