Gute photos are often only a few mouse clicks away - according to this motto, the book conveys practical know-how for professional beginners in the graphics and photo area without detours: get started immediately with the really interesting topics such as image correction, retouching, lighting and color optimization. New CS2 functions are treated as well as proven Photoshop techniques. The structure and structure of this book are coordinated in such a way that with the knowledge acquired you can not only master the numerous workshops provided, but also learn the basic procedures of digital image processing - practical knowledge that no one should be without.





Quick summaries at the end of a workshop bring the individual steps clearly to the point. So you always have your "checklists" at hand for a wide variety of tasks. Well-founded background information is provided by a separate specialist section that describes the theoretical basics in a clear and understandable manner. The practical work with this book is therefore not slowed down by formulas and facts. The enclosed DVD with all sample files is also helpful. A comprehensive index and a glossary round off this bundle.
