![]() Since this book is designed for photographers, it doesn't waste your time talking about what a pixel is, how to frame a shot, set your exposure, etc., and there's no talk about which camera or printer to buy. Plus, you can follow along with all the images used in the book, available for download on the book's companion webpage. But in this book, you'll learn some slick workarounds, cheats, and some fairly ingenious ways to replicate many of those Photoshop features from right within Elements. You'll learn: * The real secrets of how the pros retouch portraits * How to unlock the power of layers (you'll be amazed at how easy it is!) * How to use Camera Raw for processing not only RAW photos, but JPEGs, * TIFFs, and PSDs, too! (And you'll learn why so many pros like it best-because it's faster and easier) * The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there's an entire chapter just on this!) * How to deal with common digital camera image problems, including brightening people in dark shadows and getting the best color possible * The most requested photographic special effects, and much more! THE BOOK'S SECRET WEAPON Although Elements 14 offers some digital photography features that Photoshop CC doesn't offer, there are plenty of features that Photoshop CC has that Elements 14 still doesn't have (things like channels, HDR, etc.). LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT Each year we train thousands of digital photographers and, almost without exception, they have the same questions and face the same problems-that's exactly what we cover in this book. You'll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are-once you know the secrets. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and printing your photos like a pro. You can grab any other Elements book on the shelf, because they all do that. If you're looking for one of those "tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Mask-filter" books, this isn't it. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done-it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. The Photoshop Elements for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby ARE YOU READY FOR AN ELEMENTS BOOK THAT BREAKS ALL THE RULES? This book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's never been done before-it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. He covers six complete, start-to-finish projects-including all the images for you to download and follow along-that show you how to apply the techniques to a variety of scenarios, including character portraits, themed composites, and a landscape. In the second part of the book, Glyn brings everything together with his real-world projects. Glyn starts by covering the individual Photoshop skills that are the essential building blocks of his process: * Mastering selections and cutouts with the Pen tool and other important tools * Dodging and burning, adding textures, transforming a location, and using the "power of gray" for composites * Applying lighting effects such as spotlights, beams, realistic shadows, reflections, and street lighting to images * Creating special effects, including snow and debris, and turning day into night using a nondestructive workflow It's one thing to learn the techniques, but to master them you need to understand when to apply them and in what order. In this guide you will learn not only his step-by-step Photoshop techniques, but how and when to apply them so that you, too, can take your images to a whole new level. The Photoshop Workbook by Glyn Dewis The Photoshop Workbook: Professional Retouching and Compositing Tips, Tricks, and Techniques reveals the creative skills that photographer and retoucher Glyn Dewis uses for his global clients.
