Photoshop CS is the latest and greatest version of a program that has set the standard for image manipulation since 1987. The new version has lots of new features including the long-awaited ability to set text on a path, as well as a beefed-up File Browser, a new Color Replacement tool, Photomerge for ?instant? panoramas, and a lot of ?under-the-hood? enhancements that make your work easier and quicker. If you?ve used an earlier version of Photoshop, you?ll be amazed at how much more powerful this one is. If this is your first experience with Photoshop, you?ll be blown away. It?s that good! The big surprise for first-time users is that it?s really not as difficult to work with as it looks. If you have used any other Adobe software, the Photoshop interface will be immediately familiar to you. If this is your first step into creating digital graphics, you?ll find the going easier if you work on the hours of this book one at a time and don?t skip the activities or exercises. Also, please be aware that this book was written using beta versions of the software. As such, some of the figures might be slightly different from what you see on your screen. Nevertheless, every possible effort has been made to keep the book as accurate as possible.
