Adobe Photoshop and the Art of Photography
Adobe Photoshop CS3 is opening new doors in the world of photography. Now, for the first time, novice and professional photographers have a resource that explores these new capabilities while staying true to the traditional art and design principles that guide good, high-quality photography. Adobe Photoshop & The Art of Photography offers a complete
introduction to the tools and features of Adobe Photoshop CS3 using clear, step-by-step instructions, and practical, real-life exercises. Each chapter of instruction also features an illustrated interview with a noted photographer, adding new and diverse voices to the book. Original interviews include, in order of appearance: John Paul Caponigro, Joyce Tenneson, Lisa Holden, Graham Nash, Maggie Taylor, Lois Greenfield, Olivia Parker, Clark & Pougnaud, Pedro Meyer, Julie Blackmon, R. Mac Holbert, and Jerry Uelsmann. Written by award-winning photographer and Photoshop instructor Steve Weinrebe, the book explores how to use this popular software as a tool to enhance and shape good photography, while continuing to emphasize the importance of taking strong, quality photographs from the start. By understanding Photoshop as a tool to augment photographs - but not as a substitute for good photo-taking - readers will gain a state-of-the-art understanding of Adobe Photoshop as it relates to the larger world of photography.
