Photoshop CS3 Photographer’s
Handbook: An Easy Workflow
New
Release by Rocky Nook

Barbara, CA, June 29, 2007 Adobe
Photoshop is central to most digital
photography workflows, and the
introduction of CS3 is a major
milestone in the maturation of this
imaging suite. Photographers often
feel overwhelmed when starting with
Photoshop the sheer number of
tools and options make it difficult
for the novice. This mammoth program
has no shortage of instructional
books, yet very few books direct the
user to the most significant aspects
of the program.
Brad
and Steve have leveraged their
experience as teachers and
practitioners to create a
step-by-step guide that provides a
simple and effective workflow for
editing photographs in Photoshop.
Photoshop CS3 Photographer’s
Handbook: An Easy Workflow focuses
on the critical elements of the
workflow rather than covering every
arcane feature. This Handbook is
designed to get you working quickly
in Photoshop. It provides the
essential information for image
editing along with step-by-step
projects for more advanced Photoshop
techniques.
