This eagerly anticipated update to the popular Photoshop CS2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide uses a combination of task-based instruction and strong visuals to teach beginning and intermediate users how to create great-looking images with Photoshop.

Best-selling authors Elaine Weinmann and Peter Lourekas take readers step by step through all of today's Photoshop essentials: from importing digital photos through basic color manipulation and image correction to painting, masking, using filters, and more.

Hot topics like working with Camera Raw, compositing using the new Auto-Align Layers and Auto-Blend Layers commands, making selections using the new Quick Selection tool and Refine Edge feature, and Smart Filters are all covered.Both beginning users, who want a thorough introduction to the topic, and more advanced users, who are looking for a handy reference, will find what they need here.

In this new edition, using a fresh new design and now illustrated in full color, the authors have streamlined the text by focusing on the most efficient means of accomplishing a task, rather than explaining all possible methods.

By the end of the book, users will have a solid foundation for working in Photoshop CS3..
