中文名: 阿呆系列Photoshop CS6原名: Photoshop CS6 For Dummies作者: Peter Bauer图书分类: 软件资源格式: PDF版本: 文字版出版社: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.书号: 978-1-118-22706-0发行时间: 2012年6月6日地区: 美国语言: 英文简介: 内容介绍：Adobe Photoshop is one of the most important computer programs ofour age. It’s made photo editing a commonplace thing, something forthe everyperson. Still, Photoshop can be a scary thing (especially that firstpurchase price!), comprising a jungle of menus and panels and tools andoptions and shortcuts as well as a bewildering array of add-ons and plug-ins.And that’s why you’re holding this book in your hands. And why I wrote it.And why John Wiley & Sons published it.You want to make sense of Photoshop — or, at the very least, be able to workcompetently and efficiently in the program, accomplishing those tasks thatneed to get done. You want a reference that discusses how things work andwhat things do, not in a technogeek or encyclopedic manner, but rather asan experienced friend might explain something to you. Although step-by-stepexplanations are okay if they show how something works, you don’t needrote recipes that don’t apply to the work you do. You don’t mind discoveringtricks, as long as they can be applied to your images and artwork in a productive,meaningful manner. You’re in the right place!About This BookThis is a For Dummies book, and as such, it was produced with an eye towardyou and your needs. From Day One, the goal has been to put into your handsthe book that makes Photoshop understandable and useable. You won’t finda technical explanation of every option for every tool in every situation, butrather a concise explanation of those parts of Photoshop you’re most likelyto need. If you happen to be a medical researcher working toward a cure forcancer, your Photoshop requirements might be substantially more specificthan what you’ll find covered here. But for the overwhelming majority of thepeople who have access to Adobe Photoshop, this book provides the backgroundneeded to get your work done with Photoshop.As I updated this book, I intentionally tried to strike a balance between thetypes of images with which you’re most likely to work and those visuallystimulating (yet far less common) images of unusual subjects from farawayplaces. At no point in this book does flavor override foundation. When youneed to see a practical example, that’s what I show you. I worked to ensurethat each piece of artwork illustrates a technique and does so in a meaningful,nondistracting way for you.You’ll see that I used mostly Apple computers in producing this book. That’ssimply a matter of choice and convenience. You’ll also see (if you lookclosely) that I shoot mostly with Canon cameras and use Epson printers.That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t shoot with Nikon, or that you shouldn’tprint with HP or Canon. If that’s what you have, if it’s what you’re comfortablewith, and if it fulfills your needs, stick with it! You’ll also find that I mentionWacom drawing tablets here and there (and devoted one of the finalchapters to the subject). Does that mean you should have one? If you do anywork that relies on precise cursor movement (like painting, dodging, burning,path creation and editing, cloning, healing, patching, or lassoing, just to namea few), yes, I do recommend a Wacom Cintiq display or Intuos tablet. Next tomore RAM and good color management, it’s the best investment just aboutany Photoshop user can make.One additional note: If you’re brand new to digital imaging and computers,this probably isn’t the best place to start. I do indeed make certain assumptionsabout your level of computer knowledge (and, to a lesser degree, yourknowledge of digital imaging). But if you know your File➪Open from yourFile➪Close and can find your lens cap with both hands, read Chapter 1, andyou’ll have no problem with Photoshop CS6 For Dummies.本书来自:Photoshop CS6 For
