Photoshop
For The Web, 2nd Edition |
|
Title:
Photoshop For The Web, 2nd Edition Photoshop For The Web is the second edition of Mikkel Aaland's in-depth text on Adobe's powerful image manipulation program, and focuses on Photoshop 5.5, as well as ImageReady 2, which accompanies it. Aaland is well-suited to write such as book as he has 10 years in new media production; the result is that the book is a confident and clear guide on topics ranging from how to configure Photoshop's preferences specifically for the Web to using ImageReady to create quick rollover buttons. |

Advanced Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced computer users. The author suggests that you have a working knowledge of at least Photoshop 4.0. | |

How The Book Is Organized | |
Beginners can read the book cover to cover as a lot of the instruction is very basic. But intermediate-level users and anyone just upgrading to version 5.5 could hop around within the book as a fast way to get acquainted with the new features of both applications. The book falls loosely into three main areas of organization. |
|
Section I | |
Chapters 1 through 2 deal with tuning Photoshop appropriately for Web production (for example, optioning out of image previews for JPEG images) and adjusting photos for the Web (including using the new Web Photo Gallery feature).
|
|
Section 2 | |
Chapters 3 through 6 detail working with GIF and JPEG images.
|
|
Section 3 | |
Chapters 7 through 12 help resolve specific problems like creating tiled and nontiled background images and navigational icons (for example, beveled buttons and bullet balls with light effects). And there is an excellent chapter on using ImageReady to create GIF animations and rollovers.
