Considered by most graphics professionals to be the one, key application that they can't live without, Photoshop is the industry standard software package for digital image creation, correction, and enhancement. With the release of Photoshop CS2, Adobe has taken image editing to the next level. New features include Adobe Bridge, the next-generation file browser; automatic perspective matching with Vanishing Point; and the Spot Healing Brush for single click retouching. For getting up to speed with these and other powerful Photoshop CS2 features, Wiley offers two new full-color guides to the latest Photoshop release.

By the time readers finish with this book, they will be able to turn their digital photos into works of art with ease.

Teach Yourself Visually Photoshop CS2
For computer users who want a book to show them, rather than tell them how to do things, Wiley introduces "Teach Yourself Visually" Photoshop CS2.

Over 150 two-page lessons break big topics into bite-sized modules, and helpful sidebars offer practical tips and tricks. Full-color screen shots demonstrate how to browse and sort images in Bridge, change image size and resolution, paint and draw with color, create duotone images, apply layer and filter effects, and much more. For beginning photographers, designers, and hobbyists who are visual learners, Teach yourself visually Photoshop: CS2 is the perfect guide to Adobe's newest release.
