O'Reilly Media author Derrick Story shows photographers important features in Photoshop CS4 that can improve their entire post production experience. Derrick spent months working with the beta version of CS4 while writing his new book, The Photoshop CS4 Companion for Photographers.
Many photographers, including the pros, feel overwhelmed by all the editing options Photoshop provides. The Photoshop CS4 Companion for Photographers not only shows you which tools you'll need most often and how to use them, but also walks you through an enjoyable and efficient workflow
that makes it easy to process your images using
new user-friendly features that come with
Photoshop CS4.
John Nack, Principal Product Manager at Adobe Photoshop & Bridge says, "Derrick shows that Photoshop can be friendly as well as powerful. In part, he does that by focusing photographers on the essential steps of an efficient workflow. With this guide in hand, you'll quickly learn how to leverage Photoshop CS4's features to organize and improve your pictures."
As a working photographer himself, Derrick understands the need to work as efficiently as possible at the computer to avoid getting bogged down in post production. Photoshop CS4 has introduced some great new features that improve this workflow, and Derrick will demonstrate
five of them.
Derrick will also host a Q&A online forum event after the webcast. This will provide photographers a place to ask specific questions related to Photoshop.
This webcast is brought to you by Safari Books Online, the leading on-demand digital library for technology, creative and business professionals.
