Not content with outputting 10 books and fathering a child in the last year alone, Scott Kelby has just finished another Photoshop book, this time on the subject of Photoshop channels! Cunningly entitled "The Photoshop Channels Book", it does exactly what it says on the tin! Here's some marketing blurb:
Using Photoshop without taking advantage of channels is a bit like attempting to make a fine recording with nothing but a crummy cassette recorder: You can do so, but the results won't be very satisfying. However, if you're new to the world of digital imaging--perhaps because you've just found your way to Photoshop after purchasing your first digital camera--you may find channels daunting. With this book, you don't need to! As you work along with author (and National Association of Photoshop Professionals president) Scott Kelby on the book's results-intensive tutorials, you'll quickly discover the amazing things you can accomplish, using Photoshop to separate images into channels so that you can then alter the image's color and opacity, duplicate it, move it, and more. Also covered are all of Photoshop's newest channel-related features, including an improved Histogram palette that displays channels in color with a dynamic view of how filters, curves, and other settings will affect tonal range and bit depth. |
Here's a
link to the book on Amazon where they appear to be having a sale. What I really want to see is how Scott Kelby manages to bend time to get all his stuff done - if he ran Microsoft I seriously think we'd all be doooooooooomed!
