Photoshop Masters is the Photoshop book that author Rob de Winter wishes he could have bought in a store. It is packed with inspiration, tutorials, and interviews with the world's best Photoshop artists, including Erik Johansson, Lisa Carney, and Felix Hernandez. How do they achieve their magical results, what are their favorite Photoshop tools, and where do they find inspiration?
As an Adobe Certified Instructor and a speaker at international conferences such as Adobe MAX, Rob has taught thousands of people how to use Adobe Photoshop. Yet he repeatedly noticed that users struggle to find the unique Photoshop combinations that turn an ordinary photo into an extraordinary one.
This book is packed with lessons, interviews, and stunning Photoshop examples. It covers the following topics:
- The best Photoshop artists and photographers: the people who have elevated photography and illustration to an art form, achieved worldwide recognition, and know how to get the most out of Photoshop
- Photoshop composites: how do these artists combine their images into an imaginative composition?
- Inspiration: where do they find their inspiration?
- Techniques: what techniques do they use to create special photo effects, and what secrets give a photo the look and feel they envisioned in advance?
- Tools: what are their favorite and most frequently used Photoshop tools?
- Tips: what advice do they wish they had received as beginning Photoshop users?
- Examples: learn from engaging examples and the artists' own images. How do they work with layer masks, adjustment layers, blending modes, and brushes?
- Additional tools, tips, and techniques: what tools, such as plug-ins, apps, and drawing tablets, do they use to support their work?
The book is structured so that you first read an interview with a well-known Photoshop artist—an artist or photographer with a long and proven track record in the creative industry. The interview is followed by a tutorial chapter that teaches you various techniques. These are the same techniques the “masters” use.
The book is for anyone interested in photography, art, and the magic of Photoshop. It is written for people who are already familiar with Photoshop or have used the program before. But even if you have never worked with Photoshop, this is an inspiring book. The tutorials are very easy for beginners to follow. You will discover Photoshop's possibilities—and realize they are endless when you see the Photoshop combinations some artists use.
