As a piece of software, Adobe Photoshop is rare - perhaps alone -
in evoking genuine passion from its users. As it evolves, it finds
its way into the lives of more and more professional creators,
tempting them away from their traditional materials, and expanding
their horizons. Yes, it can alter photographs. It can also alter
careers. New Masters of Photoshop is a showcase of Masters who use
Photoshop, and Masters of Photoshop use. The photographers,
animators, artists, and designers assembled here have a myriad of
different skills: some manipulate, some animate, some create from
scratch. All of them produce remarkable, beautiful things. In these
pages, the authors will demonstrate examples of their print work,
web work, public work, and private work, explaining the techniques
they use to achieve their results. More than that, though, they'll
tell you how they think: who their influences are, where their
ideas come from, and how they find inspiration when the well has
run dry. friends of ED has scoured the world for the leading
exponents of Photoshop technique. This book is a gallery of
Photoshop practice and theory, backed with essays on the influences
and inspirations that lie behind the sharpest digital art in
today's media-saturated world. The book deconstructs sophisticated,
complex, and astonishing Photoshop graphics, providing motivation,
skills and inspiration in equal parts. Support for this book is
available on the friends of ED web site (friendsofed.com). From the
Publisher Creating a Photoshop image is a process that occurs as
much in the head as it does on the screen. Uniquely, New Masters of
Photoshop documents it all, from the seeds of an idea, to the
outcome on screen, paper, or canvas. The projects include examples
of collage and montage that involve manipulation of whole images
and tiny fragments - working on a grand scale, and at a
pixel-by-pixel level. Layers and masks, with all their subtleties,
are used in fascinating ways; and filters are treated with the
sensitivity and discretion they require. The CD contains: Audio,
video, and written interviews with the authors Source files for the
tutorials Unflattened Photoshop files for closer inspection About

Long ago the whole of Southern England was covered in forest. Over
time, this woodland has been cut back, but small patches remain
amidst the suburban sprawl of South-East London. The magic that
once filled the ancient forest can still be felt. Memories of the
Great North Wood are recorded in the place names - Forest Hill,
Honour Oak. Stories are told of the bandits, outlaws and gypsies
that once roamed the forest, and their presence can sometimes be
sensed when the city is quiet. Tim Bird's longest work to date
continues his interest in psychogeography and how memories live in
the landscape.
Each issue of Tim Bird's award winning series Grey Area has
explored a different landscape, and in Our Town, Tim turns his
focus to remembered places. He recalls memories from childhood and
draws on his relationship with his wife, to investigate how our
lives are informed by the environment that we experience, and the
times and places within which we exist.
