Written for beginning and intermediate users, this guide to Photoshop 5 offers solid advice on using the image editor's full suite of tools. The authors include plenty of discussion as well as step-by-step instruction as they teach you how to navigate the Photoshop interface; use the paint, color, drawing, text, gradient, and editing tools; work with paths, masks, layers, and channels; apply native and third-party filters; create special image and type effects; and repair, retouch, and enhance images. Appendices show you what's new in this version of Photoshop and help you install, upgrade, and troubleshoot the program. A glossary contains computer and digital-imaging terms. Throughout the book, you'll find plenty of screen shots, usage hints, shortcuts, warnings, and cross-references to aid you in your work.
