Adobe Photoshop ImageReady CS Hands-On


by Tanya Staples

Adobe Photoshop CS/ImageReady CS for the Web Hands-On Training (Hands on Training )(H.O.T)

Book News, Inc. says:
      In a tutorial published by lynda.com/books in association with Peachpit Press, a graphics software designer/author teams up with the series' originator to teach techniques for creating Web graphics and animations in Photoshop CS and ImageReady CS (on both Macintosh and Windows platforms). They include tips on integration with other programs and troubleshooting, and online resources. The companion CD contains the required files for completing the exercises and QuickTime demo movies

Although you can use one tool-Photoshop CS!-for both, the worlds of Web and print design are very different. Which means that if you use Photoshop CS exclusively for Web design, you probably don't want to waste a lot of time reading about its print capabilities. Not to worry: This is one Photoshop guide that covers the Web and nothing but! In this volume you'll find all the information you need to start creating Web pages with Photoshop CS, delivered in the form of classroom-proven lessons tested in Lynda Weinman's acclaimed Lynda.com training center. Using a combination of project-based lessons, guided exercises (the files for which are included on the companion CD-ROM), and QuickTime tutorials, this full-color volume walks you through all of Photoshop CS' Web features, including those new to cs: enhanced HTML output, Macromedia Flash (SWF) export, conditional actions, an enhanced rollover palette, and more. You'll also learn how to create rollovers, animations, image maps, transparency, and layer styles (among other things).
