Foreword

Introduction

Now in its tenth release Photoshop is undoubtedly the King of photo-editing software and, considering the host of new and revamped features included in the CS3 version of the program, its position at the top of the heap is assured. The software is so popular with photographers, designers and illustrators that it is truly hard to recall a time when we didn"t have Photoshop at the centre of our creative endeavors. With the massive upsurge of digital camera owners there is now a host of new photographers who are just discovering the pure editing and enhancement power afforded by the program. Given the success of previous editions it would have been easy for Adobe to sit back and bask in the refl ected glory of the program"s popularity but instead Adobe has been hard at work improving what was already a great product. The CS3 version, just like the releases before it, is a state-of-the-art image- editing program full of the features and functions that digital photographers and desktop image makers desire the most. In fact, the program has become so comprehensive that

producing an illustrated A-Z book like this one is not just a nicety, but has become a necessity. The software covers

so many areas that Photoshop users needed a quick ready- reference guide to all the major tools and features. Peter Bargh, in the fi rst few editions of this text, provided just such a comprehensive guide to the program and here I add to his excellent work. As was Peter"s approach, I haven"t stopped at simply describing the tool or feature; I accompany the text with illustrations of the software in action together with before and after pictures of the applied changes. All entries include shortcut keys, menu locations and are cross-referenced to other Photoshop features that relate. Many features also include step-by-step guides to their usage and extended visual examples of the effects of using different settings on your pictures. Keep this ready reference handy for all those occasions when you ask yourself 'What does that do?" But most of all keep enjoying your digital image making! Philip AndrewsAdobe has been through some incredible changes since Photoshop CS2 was released. The acquisition of Macromedia enabled us to build an incredibly strong portfolio of world-class products; and it also enabled us to share software in the form of public betas. First in Photoshop Lightroom, and then later in Photoshop CS3, we were able to speed forthcoming technology to you, our eager users during several months of free, pre-release trial downloads. At the formal launch of the 3rd Creative Suite, we premiered another new member of the Photoshop family in our release of Photoshop CS3 Extended. It goes without saying that thorough, accurate, well-written text is essential not just to learning this software, but also to keeping abridged of the many changes. Being a passionate Photoshop user since version 3.0, and a former tester of the application, I tend to approach tech editing such texts with a very detailed eye. As of the book you"re holding, I have now had the pleasure of working with Philip Andrews on several different projects. Philip"s work here is true to the diligence and consistency that I"ve come to expect from his writing. Beyond just delivering accurate information, Philip makes certain that it is always up to date and very enjoyable to read. Philip"s descriptions and

tutorials make my job as a tech editor very easy, and they deliver to you an easy, approachable style rarely found in software

instruction. My respect and trust for Philip"s work were never more obvious to me than the last time I saw him at Photo Plus East in New York. There I was, on the busy tradeshow fl oor, inundated with a litany of very technical questions, and I looked up to see Philip, patiently waiting for me to fi nd a pause. Realizing that I wasn"t likely to be free anytime soon, I invited Philip to step into the pod and help demo some of his techniques to the eager folks around us. Watching and listening to Philip was like reading his books, I was quickly put at ease by his confi dent and easy going style. I know that you"ll fi nd this book an extremely valuable reference as you wade through the many new features in Photoshop CS3. I hope and trust that you"ll enjoy your time and learning with it as much as I have.

Have fun,

How to use this book...

The before and after examples illustrate

how features, tools and techniques can be used to change the way that your pictures look.

There is a completely new step-by-step

section at the front of the book designed to demonstrate how to use major tools and features. These mini-tutorials can be used to extend your understanding as well as build your editing and enhancement skills.

The colored edge tabs change for each letter

section. They can be used in conjunction with the contents page to quickly thumb through the book to locate a particular group of entries.

Don"t forget about the book"s website -

www.photoshop-a-z.com. Here you will fi nd video tutorials on how to use the top new features in Photoshop CS3, the example pictures used in the step-by-step guides, links to all the featured plug-in vendors and much more.

Important ideas and techniques are

highlighted with the Remember icon and the tips and tricks used by working professionals are noted with the 'Pro"s Tip" ticked box.

Each feature and tool entry is headed with

a summary table that details the menu where the feature can be found, any keyboard shortcuts associated with the tool, the version of Photoshop that contains the feature and any other features that are linked to the feature. In order to make the most of this book, take a couple of minutes to read the following. This will let me introduce a few of the special features that I have included to help you fi nd the information that you need fast. Apart from the basic A-Z structure that lists the topics, features and tools alphabetically, I have also used the following design devices to make 'search and locate" missions speedier and more productive.

The entries detailing new or substantially

changed or revamped features in Photoshop

CS3 are highlighted in red.

The simplest way to make a photo brighter

using the Curves feature is to click-drag the midtone part of the curve upwards.

Dragging the curve downwards makes the

photo darker. Using curves to perform this action means that both the shadows and highlight tones are left untouched by the changes.

Holding the Alt key whilst moving these

Input sliders will preview the pixels that are

being converted to pure black or white (clipped). Move the sliders in until you see the fi rst few pixels and then adjust the sliders slightly to ensure no pixels are being clipped. 2

To increase contrast in a photograph move

To add more contrast click-drag the

highlight portion of the curve upwards and the Shadow section downwards. This creates a classic S shape to the curve. To reduce the contrast reverse these actions moving the shadows upwards and the highlights downwards. 2

more tonal enhancement options than ever before. With the addition of a black and white input slider you can perform the same contrast enhancement step as in the

Levels feature. Just move the Highlight and

Shadow input sliders in the Levels dialog

towards the center of the histogram.
