Synopsis
In Adobe Master Class: Advanced Compositing in Photoshop, Second Edition , Bret Malley helps you create stunning imagery with the newest versions of Photoshop, and take your compositing skills beyond anything you've ever imagined -- even if you're already an experienced Photoshop user! Malley offers an exceptionally strong grounding in Photoshop's most powerful tools and techniques for seamlessly combining images. You'll learn through behind-the-scenes tutorials based on examples from his amazing portfolio, and guest images (with interviews) from critically acclaimed artists. This Second Edition fully reflects Photoshop's major compositing improvements since mid-2014, when the First Edition was published. You'll find expert coverage of Select and Mask, compositing images created with cellphone cameras, streamlining workflows by leveraging phone and camera Wi-Fi links, compositing images captured in RAW, and much more. Malley begins with a brush-up on basic layering and image combination techniques, and offers expert advice on taking photos that are well-suited to compositing. He offers valuable words of wisdom on camera settings, lighting, color theory, image composition, and perspective. Next, he presents a series of Photoshop exercises that walk you throughout blending layers seamlessly, creating atmosphere, artfully distorting shapes, working with textures, and more. Through hands-on projects, you'll learn to create vivid images of imaginary worlds, often by layering and skillfully blending dozens -- or even hundreds -- of images. From your first planning sketches to your final finishing touches, this entertaining book will help you push your abilities and make images of breathtaking creativity., In Bret Malley's world, a father is suspended in the air among his baby's collection of toys . . . a big-box store and parking lot can be transformed into a scene of reclaimed nature . . . and an ordinary person can sculpt fire with his bare hands. And in Adobe Master Class: Advanced Compositing in Adobe Photoshop CC, Second Edition , Bret shares the techniques he uses to elevate an image from the everyday to the extraordinary, showing you how to make seemingly impossible scenarios come to life. Designed as a comprehensive guide to compositing from start to finish, this book is divided into three sections. Section I provides an overview of Adobe Photoshop CC focusing on both basic and hidden tools and other features you need to master in order to create stunning composite imagery. Bret also shows you how to shoot high-quality photos for compositing, including tips for equipment and technique. Going beyond the mechanics of Photoshop, Section II leaps into hands-on action by guiding readers through the creation of four unique composites. These fun and informative step-by-step projects cover everything from the first planning sketches to the final finishing touches (using resources provided for download). In Section III, additional detailed project walkthroughs offer tips on everything from creating a superhuman to compositing an epic fantasy landscape. Interviews and spreads featuring established and emerging artists provide a range of inspirational imagery, creative insight, and professional know-how., Beginning with some basic orientation and humorous descriptions of tools, layers, adjustments and the rest, Adobe Master Class: Advanced Compositing in Photoshop progresses into tutorials brimming with secret techniques for advanced compositing. The book opens with a brush-up on the fundamentals of compositing (layering and combining images) in Photoshop, making sure that students have a grasp of the basic techniques. Author Bret Malley goes on to provide photographic advice for taking pictures that are well-suited to compositing, including words of wisdom on camera settings and lighting. Other preparatory topics include color theory, image composition, and perspective.

    It's on me for not reading the description of this being an ex-library copy. I was expecting it to be, but that's completely my fault. The product is exactly as described, in good condition and of good quality. Shipping was fast. Appearance good, no pages ripped and cover is not bent. It was sent in a bag instead of a box, though, which could have led to damage in shipping. Overall I'm happy and would buy from this seller again.

    The book was noted as in a very good condition. When I received it, it had several pages of underlining. I contacted the seller and send them copies of the pages. They apologized for their oversight and rectified the issue. I appreciate the prompt communication and rectification of the issue. thanks.
