This review is from: Photoshop Compositing Secrets: Unlocking the Key
to Perfect Selections and Amazing Photoshop Effects for Totally
Realistic Composites (Kindle Edition)
WAO! I must say I am totally impressed!!! I have seen some other
online classes from the author and also read some other of his books
and articles so I kinda knew this was going to be good, but he has
outdone himself this time! It doesn't matter if your are relatively
new to Photoshop or if you have more experience, you will find
something new to learn in every project. There are various different
projects in the book, each one cleverly designed to help us see the
different problems we may find and how to solve them. He clearly
explains how and why he used the techniques so you will be able to
apply them to your own projects when needed. You can even download
every photo used in the projects to follow along. Also you will find
very different approches to compositing on every chapter, so we can
think in a lot more ways to use compositing as a tool to achieve
results that we may not be able to get otherwise. Matt teaches us a
lot of tips to help us get the work done better, faster but without
forgetting details. For me, just the tips shared in the first chapters
about selections, extracting and planning ahead, saved me a lot of
time and in my opinion are well worth the price of the whole book!!!
