In The Photoshop Toolbox, photographer and bestselling author Glyn
Dewis breaks down Photoshop into just three main features: layer
masks, brushes, and blend modes. Written specifically for
photographers with little knowledge of Photoshop, this book breaks
down the how, what, and why of Photoshop basics. Adobe Photoshop is
one of the most powerful image-editing applications ever created,
but it is also widely thought to be difficult to learn, infinite in
scope, and nearly impossible to master. For these reasons, many
photographers choose to stay exclusively with Lightroom for all
their photography needs. But for those photographers who subscribe
to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan--which includes both
Lightroom and Photoshop--to leave Photoshop unopened and unexplored
is to deny yourself the ability to take your creativity and
expression to a whole new level. In The Photoshop Toolbox,
photographer and bestselling author Glyn Dewis breaks down
Photoshop into just three main features: layer masks, brushes, and
blend modes. Glyn has taught thousands online, in person, and
through his bestselling books The Photoshop Workbook and Photograph
Like a Thief. Over and over, he has recognized that once a user
truly understands these three tools, there is nothing holding them
back from achieving whatever they want to accomplish in Photoshop.
With Glyn explaining not only the "what" but also the "why" behind
layer masks, brushes, and blend modes, you're empowered to think
beyond each specific example and to ask that all-powerful question,
"What would happen if I used that technique on this other image?"
Written expressly for photographers with little knowledge of
Photoshop, in The Photoshop Toolbox you'll learn: - Photoshop
basics: Explore Photoshop's Workspace, Tool Bar, Options Bar,
Properties, and Layers - Layer masks: Learn the basics of layer
masks, as well as specific techniques that incorporate cutouts,
removing halos, Content Aware Fill, Look Up Tables (LUTs), and more
- Brushes: Brushes are useful for everything from cutouts to
creating special effects like snow, debris, grass, and even your
own signature - Blend modes: Use blend modes for tricky selections,
brightening and darkening an image, and tidying up a layer mask -
Additional tips, tricks, and techniques: Glyn devotes an entire
chapter to "extra" techniques such as removing reddening skin,
creating smoke, matching color, and building depth in your image
with contrast, light, and sharpness Finally, in the last chapter of
the book, Glyn brings it all together with a start-to-finish
project concentrating on photo retouching skills.
