productivity gains from version 3, but the new Graphical view and
other workflow improvements are welcome. By Jim Held, Macworld (via

SpyView: Photoshop Classic Effects: The Essential Effects Every User Needs to Know
SpyView: Photoshop Classic Effects: The Essential Effects Every User Needs to Know12/22/2004 01:26 AM Author Scott Kelby has written an easy-to-read book that any serious
Adobe Photoshop user is sure to want on their desk for easy access to
the more than 100 “classic” Photoshop projects.
Step-by-step, Kelby walks the reader through techniques that result in
the stunning, professional effects that you see everyday in magazines,
on billboards, in newspapers and on the Internet. Examples of the
projects include using one photo as the background and focal point;
creating chrome bevelled type; tinting black and white photos and
creating reflections and various shadowing techniques. Kelby states
simply that “these are the effects your clients expect you to know if
you are a professional Photoshop user”.
Kelby, editor of Photoshop User magazine and author of several
bestselling Photoshop books, has cut the learning time dramatically
for newer users of the program. Photoshop Classic Effects doesn’t
require you to work through one tutorial after another, but enables
you to easily find the project you’re interested in using, which is
why you’ll want to keep it handy for future reference. Kelby has used
language throughout the book that is easy to understand and provides
the user commands for both Mac and Windows platforms.
The book is beautifully illustrated with full color photographs by
Brand X Pictures. If you want to follow along using the same photos
Kelby used in his projects, the low-res images are available for
download at http://www.scottkelbybooks.com/classicphotos.
If you’re interested in this book, but still undecided whether to make
the purchase, you might want to try a few of Kelby’s samples for
yourself. Publisher Peach Pit Press has included some of the author’s
step-by-step projects on a tip sheet which is available for download
from http://www.peachpit.com/title/0321272250#.
