Book Description
Pioneering computer graphics author Deke McClelland updates his bestselling hands-on tutorial for Adobe Photoshop CS3, the latest version of this industry-standard image editing and production program. As with previous editions,
Photoshop CS3 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 two hours of DVD-video material included. Once you read about a particular technique, you can see how it's done first hand in the video. The combination is uniquely effective. And hugely popular.
Whether you're a first-timer looking to learn Photoshop, or a seasoned user interested in the groundbreaking features of CS3, Deke's conversational style and carefully structured lessons guide you through everything you need to know to get up and running, and then takes you well into mastery. You'll learn to:
- Grasp fundamental and advanced concepts and theory
- Use best practices, and techniques for making the most of Photoshop CS3
- Build relevant, real-world projects
- Use Photoshop's workflow and file handling features
- Use the combined power of Bridge + Camera Raw to process your digital photos
- Choose the right technique for converting your images to black & white
- Create beautiful multilayered documents including posters and flyers
- And much more
A Photoshop expert, sought-after computer graphics and design lecturer and author of over 70 books, Deke creates a classroom environment in
Photoshop CS3 One-on-One with written instruction and video training -- except that you get one-on-one attention as you proceed from lesson to lesson at your own pace. It's like having private lessons with the author.
Whether you're an enthusiast, prosumer, creative pro, technical pro, or newcomer, Deke's book will have you speaking fluent Photoshop CS3 in no time.

The best Photoshop book for both beginners and professionals.......2007-09-27
I've been using Deke McClelland's books and courses to learn Adobe products for about ten years now, and I don't think it's an underestimate to say that this book and its author are treasures. Like all of Mr. McClelland's works, this book is both crystal clear and loaded with both advanced content and brilliantly constructed projects so as to have equal value to both beginners and professionals, and presented with wit to boot. I'm really looking forward to the forthcoming InDesign CS3 One-On-One and Illustrator CS3 One-On-One, and only wish that there were equivalent books for all of the Adobe programs. Thank you, Deke.
Great Study Material.......2007-09-25
I am new to Photoshop and very interested in webdesign and Photography. This book helps me a lot in understanding a great deal about Photography and the new Photoshop CS3. I am still in Chapter 6 and doing wonders already. My Friends think I am some sort of a Genius. Great Book !!!
An excellent resource!.......2007-09-08
As a person who has been familiar with various aspects of Photoshop for years, I was unsure if this book would give me the information that I wanted to learn. I've been able to learn various tasks that can be done in Photoshop, but these have been very limited and I've wanted to take my skills to a higher level. Also, as someone who dabbles in digital photography, I'm also interested in learning new skills to help me reproduce my images.
This book is excellent! Not only is the book flat out gorgeous to look at and thumb through, with full color on virtually every page, I found the addition of the DVD tutorials extremely helpful and well done. There are almost 3 hours of video, and for a visual learner such as myself I found it invaluable to watch the video first and then follow along with the book at my own pace.
As you likely already know, Photoshop is an extremely complex software and it is not a very intuitive one at that, at least until you get to know your way around. Adobe CS3 one-on-one will help you tremendously if you are new to the program. I found that I learned a ton of new stuff and had a great refresher for things I had already learned in the past.
When I'm asked by friends or family what book to use to learn Photoshop, this is the one! You will not be disappointed.
A top pick for any library catering to Photoshop CS3 learners........2007-09-08
Any looking to learn Photoshop CS3 from basics to advanced must have Adobe Photoshop CS3 One-on-One: it's a virtual classroom in a book and pairs real-world projects and 12 self-paced tutorials with color photos, diagrams and screen shots which lend to quick examples and easy learning. It's taught by a Photoshop expert with over 20 years of experience and it includes quizzes in each chapter to help test knowledge, making it both a handy reference and the perfect classroom text, alike. A top pick for any library catering to Photoshop CS3 learners.

World Class microphotography.......2005-03-29
This book is stunning in its capturing of the human body in ways that still seem impossible even after I am familiar with them. This book with its hundreds of large, detailed microphotographs gives you a whole new sense of what it is to be alive and what you are alive inside of. If your a doctor or a srudent or just an inhabitant of a human body, this book will make you feel more at home where you are.
Book Description
This collection examines past patterns of destructive resource extraction in Amazonia and, more importantly, critically analyses a series of newer initiatives that offer more sustainable options. These include: new production strategies such as agroforestry, innovative resource governance models such as inland fisheries co-management, and agro-ecological zoning. The challenge at this critical juncture is how to integrate such policies into mainstream development within Amazonia.

Specification, Estimation, and Analysis of Macroeconomic Models
ASIN: 0674875036 |
Book Description
In this book Ray Fair expounds powerful techniques for estimating and analyzing macroeconometric models. He takes advantage of the remarkable decrease in computational costs that has occurred since the early 1980s by implementing such sophisticated techniques as stochastic simulation. Testing Macroeconometric Models also incorporates the assumption of rational expectations in the estimation, solution, and testing of the models. And it presents the latest versions of Fair's models of the economies of the United States and other countries.
After estimating and testing the U.S. model, Fair analyzes its properties, including those relevant to economic policymakers: the optimal monetary policy instrument, the effect of a government spending reduction on the government deficit, whether monetary policy is becoming less effective over time, and the sensitivity of policy effects to the assumption of rational expectations.
Ray Fair has conducted research on structural macroeconometric models for more than twenty years. With interest increasing in the area, this book will be an essential reference for macroeconomists.
