If you're proficient in Photoshop 5.0 but need some help making your fine art finer and your commercial art slicker, turn to this book. Each chapter highlights the approach and output of 21 artists (including coauthor Eisman) in a handsome full-color layout. Part 1 focuses on general techniques: moving from sketch to final graphic, incorporating stock photos, mimicking natural media, making 3-D characters, creating distortions and type effects, and layering. Part 2 focuses on specific applications: high-res (high-resolution) imaging for ads, fine-art printing, fashion photography, QuickTime virtual reality (VR), digital cameras, Web images, and buttons. You learn the specific techniques the artists used to create the impressive images and get general tips from the artists as well as the history and inspiration behind each creation. Each project enables you to use Photoshop to its fullest, and often in rather original ways. The book is for both Windows and Mac users. A companion CD-ROM contains artwork from the book's examples. --Kathleen Caster
