(read our review of this product)
Press Release - March 11, 2004
Total Training, the leading producer of high-quality video-based training for popular software programs, today announced the availability of Total Training Presents: Adobe Photoshop Tips & Tricks, in which professional designer Steve Holmes leads users on a three-hour journey into some of the lesser known and incredibly powerful techniques for using Adobe Photoshop.
"Total Training unveils little-known Photoshop techniques and tricks in this CD - things many users never realized they could do before," said Steve Holmes. "And the video-based format makes it easy to understand how to achieve incredible results, from painting with textured liquid to creating fire and smoke, and many more amazing effects. Regardless of experience level, users will find plenty of examples here to enhance their Photoshop skills."
As the industry's most powerful digital image editing program, Adobe Photoshop is full of features for developing unique designs and modifying images. However, many users are familiar with only the most common features or filters, which limits their creative options. Total Training's new video instruction guides users through some of the most sought-after techniques and tricks to help them to get the most out of Photoshop.
Lessons topics include:
- Depth of field, motion blur, perspective and shadowing options for realistic photo-compositing.
- Techniques for accurate grayscale conversion and brilliant hand-coloring of images.
- Cool channel effects for roughened type, layer blending tricks and fast masking techniques.
- Creating aqua-style lettering and buttons with added features for textures, water and ice.
- Everything users need for intricate layer blending with fire and smoke.
- Use of displacement maps for logos on fabric and realistic shadow generation on faces in composites.
- Using alpha channels, pixel creation filter, techniques and lighting effects for brilliant background creation.
- Techniques for obtaining the most realistic chrome and beautifully diffused soft-edged shadows.
Total Training Presents: Adobe Photoshop Tips & Tricks is available now for $49 at www.totaltraining.com. or at resellers everywhere. While this title provides a briefer look at enhanced Photoshop techniques, comprehensive video instruction on Photoshop is also available from Total Training for $299 in its seven-disc set, Total Training for Adobe Photoshop CS.
