Summary

With this book, pioneering computer graphics author Deke McClelland updates his bestselling hands-on tutorial for the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. As with previous editions, "Photoshop X One-on-One" guides readers step by step through the program's features and functionality. A key appeal of the One-on-One series is the DVD-video material included. Once they read about a particular technique, they can see how it's done first hand in the video. The combination is uniquely effective.

   Electronic publishing pioneer Deke McClelland is a popular lecturer on Adobe Photoshop and the larger realm of computer graphics and design.
