Beautiful Book
The Art of Photoshop CS2 Edition by Daniel Giordan (ISBN 0-672-32810-0) is a great edition to add to your collection of Photoshop books. The first part of the book is devoted to a gallery of images, that show the beauty of Photography and Computer manipulation as an art form. The book then enters the how to phase. Daniel Giordan goes through the process he undertook to get to the end result the beautiful images that appear in the gallery section of the book. This book is for the advanced Photoshop user, concentrating on more advanced tools, that enable the user to go beyond simple image correction and compositing to making art. Mr. Giordan uses short paragraphs and numerous photos to make his explanation of his creative process very visual and easy to understand. Each step is accompanied by a photo of the tool or palette being used and the actual effect it has on the photograph, so that one can really follow along and see how the end product is created. Then, best of all in my opinion, there is a cd which accompanies the book which includes all of the source photos used. This allows the reader to not just follow along and hope to get similar results, but to actually try it out themselves making sure that they can get the same results before going onto the next step. This is a great way to learn the advanced tools of Photoshop.
