Product Description
Welcome to the first and most far-reaching training on the latest version of Adobe's flagship image editor, Photoshop CS3. Hosted by award-winning author and Photoshop Hall of Famer Deke McClelland, Photoshop CS3 One-on-One is your opportunity to delve headlong into the new Photoshop with a seasoned, knowledgeable guide by your side. Complete with task-based projects and work-along sample files, this is the ultimate insider's guide to Photoshop CS3. Organized into 27 logical chapters, these 360 movies will load you up with the essential information and skills you need to become comfortable and competent with the standard edition of Photoshop CS3. Everything is here, from the newest enhancements to the reliable classics, from the absolute essentials to the most advanced techniques. As Deke says, "Photoshop CS3 One-on-One is about in-depth instruction, real-world projects, and an informal while at the same time detailed and painstakingly accurate approach. It s your chance to go from 0 to 60 in a single series. I hope you ll agree, this is one-on-one training at its best." Photoshop CS3 One-on-One covers the following topics, with an eye toward addressing techniques in the order that they are best employed: - Understanding what Photoshop is and what it can do
- Zooming, scrolling, and getting around an image
- Making the most of the new-and-improved CS3 interface
- Using Adobe Bridge to organize and manage images
- Saving workspaces for maximum comfort and efficiency
- Correcting colors using the Variations and Hue/Saturation commands
- Taking on the professional-grade luminance editors, Levels and Curves
- Resampling an image and selecting an interpolation setting
- Cropping and straightening a photograph
- Using the selection tools, including the new Refine Edges command
- Retouching and image and healing away blemishes
- Understanding masking, layering, and layer comps
- Sharpening, blurring, and averaging the details in a photograph
- Working with transparency and blend modes
- Working with transparency and blend modes
- Cloning and healing in perspective using Vanishing Point 2
- Creating and editing text
- Using layer effects and styles to correct photographs and achieve special effects
- Making the most of adjustment layers, smart objects, and smart filters
- Working with the wealth of new features in Camera Raw 4, including its ability to open photos saved in JPEG or TIFF
- Stitching multiple photographs seamlessly using the new and improved Auto-Align, Auto-Blend, and Photomerge
- Recording actions and printing your images
It's a lot, to be sure. But thanks to Deke's wit, encouragement, and charm, it goes by quickly. His promise: "Give me 7 hours a week for a solid month, and I ll turn you into the most capable Photoshop user you know." Who could say no?

Adobe CS3 One-One Tutorial Book October 31, 2008
This is the second Photoshop tutorial by Deke Mcelland that I have purchased and well used. The first was on the CS version of Photoshop. He is easy to read and has an easy to follow format. The CS3 book is well illustrated and comes with sample photos and a very helpful "show-me" video tutorial disk. Altogether, I highly recommend the book (and the author) to anyone who is seriously interested learning PhotoShop. : - )

I am very happy with how quickly this product got here! Thanks Amazon. Would order directly from Amazon again. But not their used/independent dealers. (The used dealers are not worth the tie and trouble they put you through).
Amazon did a great job.
 Photoshop CS3 Enhanced September 30, 2008
The book comes with a disk that contains videos and lessons, very helpful. However it is still difficult to do the lessons. I would be lost if I were not taking a college course with an instructor and lab assistants for help.

This book reveals how to use many valuable tools in Photoshop. I've been using Photoshop for many years, but this book surprises me chapter after chapter with all the hidden tools I never knew existed, or tools I didn't know how to use such as the variations tool in adjustments and the quick select tool. Adobe Photoshop CS3 one-on-one is a "must have" reference book for photographers.
