Book Description
One big advantage Photoshop professionals have
always had was the understanding of channels. It was their secret
weapon, and it enabled them to do things, and work in an entirely
different way than their competitors, and maybe that's why the secret
power of Photoshop's channels has been such a closely guarded secret.
Until now.
Award-winning, bestselling author Scott Kelby (Editor of Photoshop
User magazine) shows you how to unlock the power of Photoshop's
Channels and really start using Photoshop like a pro. But this isn't a
book of theory and technical explanations, this is a step-by-step
project-based book that will teach you exactly how to the pros use
channels in their everyday work (Using channels is one of the secrets
they use to get twice the work done in half the time).
You'll learn how today's top photographers and graphic designers
employ channels to make impossible selections, to speed their
production workflow, to color correct images, to mask images, to
create stunning color to black and white conversions, and to do dozens
of inside tricks that set them apart from the field. There's a reason
there's always been a mystique to using channels, and why Photoshop
users who understand and use them stay on the cutting edge. Now, their
secrets are revealed using the same plain-English style that has made
Scott one of the leading Photoshop authors and instructors in the
world today.---
