Photoshop_User_June_2017

Review by Peter Bauer

Here’s a book being reviewed by request. It was originally pub-

lished several years ago (though an update may be coming), but

it works with every version of Photoshop since its publication. I’m

grateful to the reader for this recommendation—it will become

part of my permanent library. The book is divided into four parts:

Understanding the Vocabulary and Logic of Photoshop; Tutori-

als for Drawing and Painting Digitally; Tutorials for Creating and

Developing Fine-Art Digital Photography; and Tutorials Combin-

ing Photoshop and Printmaking. Each of the 28 tutorials is clearly

written and illustrated and the author avoids the use of short-

cuts so that the very newest beginner can’t get confused. What

strikes me most about this book is the section on drawing and

painting in Photoshop. Some tutorials start with a photo, others

with a blank canvas. You’ll likely also find that the tutorials on

digital transfers give food for thought. n
