Reviewing Adobe Photoshop CS3 one-on-one (by: Rafiq Elmansy)
Deke McClelland continues his Photoshop On-on-one series with the new Adobe Photoshop CS3 one-on-one. The book covers with training examples the features in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
The book takes you starting from opening and organizing files in Photoshop as the default start for any one starts work in Photoshop. And covers in the second and third lessons the color features such as highlighting, midtones, shadows and correcting color balance in Photoshop.
In the following chapters, Deke shows how to work with the Photoshop tools such as working with selections, cropping and resizing, painting and healing and working with masks. As well as working with text, layers, composition and styles.
Also, the book comes with a DVD-Rom that includes over 2hours of Lynda.com video hosted by Dake.
Actually, I was expecting Deke to talk about the new features in Photoshop CS3 instead of repeating what he has said in his previous CS2 version of the book. The new features in Adobe Photoshop CS3, which I consider an evolution in the Photoshop life has never been mentioned in the book!!
It is really strange that the book does not cover these great features in Photoshop CS3, I wander why not he mentioned about the new interface, animation timeline and 3D support…etc.
