Product Description
This workshop is for the beginner through advanced amateur photographer.
Have you ever seen a great subject in bad light, had perfect
lighting conditions but no subject, or shot a subject only to have
problems in your composition? Photoshop provides the photographer with
the tools to create images that sometimes only exist in our imagination.
With this DVD, Jim shows all the techniques he uses to create
some of his favorite Photoshop images and will have you creating your
own dazzling Photoshop masterpieces. Even though Jim starts at the
beginning, this DVD is not just for beginners. Because Photoshop can not
be taught in a linear fashion, like mathematics, Jim quickly gets into
very creative techniques that intermediate and advanced Photoshop users
will love to learn.
In this DVD, Jim uses CS4 however, this program
is designed to help users of any version of Photoshop because it
focuses on techniques rather than teaching a specific version of
Photoshop.
The program is divided into the following chapters:
Introduction & Actions:
Jim introduces his goals for this program and teaches how to create
custom actions in the action pallet to help speed up your workflow.
Snowflake:
Jim shows a simple technique he uses to mirror an image, creating a
snowflake pattern from an picture of a tree. It is a great technique
with many potential applications to creating very interesting nature
abstracts.
Mountain Lion: Learn how to turn an image
into a poster art silhouette. Jim transforms an image of a Mountain Lion
into a eye-popping silhouette.
Bubble: Jim has always
been interested in creating surrealism in his images. He shows all the
steps he uses to create a reflective bubble within an image.
Chopper:
Combining two images with blend modes is one of the keys to creating
real looking composite images in Photoshop. See how Jim transforms a
photo of a helicopter he shot flying over his home into an explosive
battleground scene.
Tall Ship: Often times the
condition for capturing spectacular images just are not right. Jim shows
how he combines a dramatic seascape with an shot of a tall ship,
turning an average picture into a real masterpiece.

The Taj Mahal has been photographed from every conceivable angle. See
how Jim overcomes this fact and creates a never before seen angle on the
Taj Mahal in Photoshop.
