Excerpts

Introduction Introduction Who Should Read This Book?If you happen to be in a bookstore right now deciding whether to purchase this book, studies show we have about 30 seconds to convince you. Not much time for persuasion, so we'll just give the facts. If you are already an expert in one or more Adobe programs, this book helps bring you to a full circle of understanding and using software to create your vision.On the other hand, a lot of us aren't experts. We know a little bit of this and a little of that. This book helps fill in the gaps--so you not only understand the concepts in the Creative Suite 2, you get the work done. Our goal is to get you quickly and intimately involved in the Creative Suite 2 and help you pass that class you might be taking or tackle the new responsibilities that you've just been handed at your job. We understand that you not only need to know the Hows, but also the Whys of graphics, design, and printing. We also know to keep those Whys brief and easy.The authors make some assumptions about your skill level. We assume you know how to use a mouse or other pointing device and that you have browsed the web, sent email, and used general office software. If you haven't grasped these general computing tasks, this book isn't for you. This book also isn't for you if you are a seasoned pro in all the Creative Suite programs. We have set our sights on giving you a manual for getting a foothold, not a lengthy academic study on specific areas. If you need a huge resource on color or Beacute;zier geometry, this book is not for you.Good luck--and make your decision soon because that lady has been waiting a while to look at the shelf you're leaning on. Why Choose the Special Edition?There are a lot of books on Adobe software. Some are better than others. We believe that most people are looking to learn as much as they can, without having it interfere with the rest of their lives. The Special Edition is designed to be friendly to your schedule and strong with information on things you'll likely encounter and question.This volume is thorough but not exhaustive. A good book should not be intimidating in either its vocabulary or its size and weight. Most importantly, we've taken care to address how the Adobe Creative Suite 2 integrates its different programs so that you can integrate your workflow. There are so many things to learn in the Creative Suite, but the most common question people have is how they can bring their file from one program to another the right way. Understanding how the programs relate--and being able to use those relationships effectively--makes designing more fun and makes working with a team a heck of a lot easier. When you are certain that you know how to make graphic or page files compatible with your other programs, you have really gained confidence and you are able to reuse and repurpose your work. Why Choose the Adobe Creative Suite?If you haven't decided whether to buy just one Adobe program or the whole suite, we encourage you, if you have the means, to get the entire Creative Suite 2. If you are a budding creative professional, having the Creative Suite 2 makes sharing files with others very easy. You also will find that the Creative Suite 2 will pay for itself fairly quickly, not only with freelance projects you might take on but with the time you save by having all these tools at your disposal. It will open up opportunities for you to expand your toolset and give you more to offer to clients, customers, or your employer. With the Adobe Creative Suite 2 as a whole, you get more than the sum of its parts, and it's certainly cheaper than buying programs
