You know those exquisitely illustrated cookbooks that have your mouth watering before you even leave the bookstore? The Photoshop CS / CS2 Wow! Book produces a similar effect! Using ravishing, full-color photos of professionally designed Photoshop projects (and a CD crammed with project files and examples), the latest edition of this best-selling book carefully lays out the recipes you need to follow to reproduce the works shown in its pages. Seeing is doing as you follow along and explore all of Photoshop's most important features, including those new to both Photoshop CS and CS2: the integration of Camera Raw, the Lens Correction filter, nonsquare pixel support; Photomerge technology (which allows you to create seamless panoramas from multiple images); the Vanishing Point filter (which allows you to create visual perspective), the ability to place text on paths and in shapes, enhanced file management with the File Browser (CS) and Bridge (CS2); and more. As always with this popular series, the emphasis is on results--how to produce the best work in the least amount of time using the fewest steps possible. To that end, you may just find some tricks even Adobe doesn't know about!
