Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in a Book (Classroom in a Book (Adobe))

This hands-on guide walks readers through Adobe Photoshop CS5 in a sequence of structured lessons. Each chapter tackles a practical area of the image-editing program, from joining several photos into a panorama to cleaning up and repairing damaged pictures. Readers also learn to work with stacked layers, build three-dimensional elements, use masks and channels to select areas precisely, process raw camera files, and create simple animations. The step-by-step format suits beginners who want to learn the software from the ground up, and it also serves designers and photographers who already know the basics and want a reference.
