Adobe Photoshop for Textile Design by Frederick L Chipkin.......2007-08-31
This is an excellent book for textile designers. Easy to follow and Frederick has been a pleasure to work with. Thanks again!
Adobe Photoshop for Textile Design by Frederick L Chipkin.......2007-01-11
My daughter is a graphic designer and she asked for this book for Xmas and says that it is TOPS!
The best digital textile design book..........2006-05-12
This is THE most extraordinary professional digital textile design book I have ever read, and as a matter of fact, besides hundreds and hundreds PhotoShop books on the market today, Adobe PhotoShop for Textile Design by Frederick L. Chipkin, is the only one and only one kind.
If you are in the textile design business either new or seasoned, and if you are going to or already using PhotoShop to manipulate textile design, then, after you read just couple of chapters of this book, for instance, some subjects like "using index to reducing color and do the color-way", or "half drop repeat tricks", or "creating a plaid"... you will immediately see that Mr. Chipkin is such an expert both in the textile design and PhotoShop and he knows exactly what he is talking about. By using simple, clear, humorous and straight forward to the point language, he step by step to teach you how to achieve a great result to meet a professional need and how to solve some problem during the design process.
After I read this book and talk to some my CAD textile design friends who have been using PhotoShop to design textile for many years, some even studied in FIT for this major, I found that they did not know a lot of "tricks" which have been mentioned in Mr. Chipkin's book. I truly believe that any one who is in the field and wants to approve the CAD textile design skill, should seriously consider to have this book in his or her design studio library, and I found this book indispensable and well worth the money I spent on it.
I strongly recommend Mr. Chipkin's book to textile design professional.......2006-03-25
I found "Adobe PhotoShop for Textile Design," by Frederick Chipkin informative and well written. After 20 years experience as an designer and stylist, I discovered new and innovative design techniques. I was particularly impressed by Mr. Chipkin's approach to simplifying complex tasks. The book is laid out clearly and concisely, making complex tasks logical to execute and easy to master. There is a wealth of information and techniques that allow the artist to become highly proficient in design creation and processing. The book is a versatile tool; providing the expertise for both the student and the instructor. I have sampled a number of similar books over the years, and I say that I find Mr. Chipkin's book probably the best in the field. I strongly recommend Mr. Chipkin's book to textile design professional, as well as those just entering the field.
Adobe Photoshop for Textile Design.......2006-02-12
I'm a textile designer who had been hesitant to learn how to use the computer to design pattern since I had been painting and drawing for over 20 years. When faced with first learning Photoshop and trying to figure out how to use it to do textiles, I was overwhelmed.
Than one of my friends told me about this book . It was too good to be true. This book is so well written in plain english and explained everything, step by step. That as a beginner I was able to figure it out and learn without much trouble. I highly recommend this book, especially since you can learn at your own pace and refer back easily. I've taken classes, but you get hit with so much information at one time it's difficult to absorb so much and than remember the how to apply it.

Customer Reviews:
Great book to get you thinking about openings.......2005-12-13
A good general opening book will give you the methods or procedures you can use to study any opening. This book by Dvortesky and Yusupov does that exceedingly well. The authors alternate by chapter, and this keeps the teaching fresh and engaging. What is so tremendous about this book and the others from this series is that the chapters were actually given to chess students in Dvoretsky's chess school. Because of this, the book never suffers from the flaw in so many chess books: that of going alternately over and under the reader's head. Not to pick on Junn Nunn, but his "Understanding Chess: Move by Move" is a classic instance of an author being out of touch with his audience. Who the heck is he aiming at? One minute he sounds like he's talking to a class of 4th graders, the next minute he is engaging in theoretcical discussions with Kasparov. Dvortesky and Yusupov are teachers, and each chapter of this book is spoken right to the class, and you are part of the class, and their focus is clear and steady in relation to their audience. There are many annotated games in this book, and in each of them, the authors explain how the ideas relevant to that particulat opening are carried out in the game. This not only makes for interesting reading, in that the reader can follow the instructive flow of ideas, but it immediately rubs off on your own chess, making you realize you had better know the ideas behind your own openings. In fact, the explanations are so good that I have found myself playing some of the openings that are the subject of the games in the book. 'Opening Preparation' is just a great book, that rewards careful study on every page. It is challenging, but, again, these guys know when the students need to be pushed, and they seem to know when to let up a bit too. Because of this, the book is stimulating without being overwhelming. It is a very fine chess book.
Very good book for advanced players.......2004-09-01
Quite a good book. However you are going to use only a couple of chapters. The chapters on building a repetoire were a bit superficial, (Not detailed enough i would have expected more examples). The Obscure Dutch defense is covered to show modern approaches to the opening, a better more worth while opening could have been chosen.
What you will use will be the examples of openinging into the middle & end game.
Also the more general concepts of where and how your limited valuable time should be spent on studying the openings are of great benefit.
Finally this, as all Dvoretsky are for advanced players (FIDE 1800+)

Product Description
Grandmaster Eingorn is an chess opening trendsetter. Throughout his career, he has introduced many novel concepts in the openings, and some of the systems he has introduced have gone on to become absolute main lines, such as the Rb1 Exchange Grünfeld. Here he explains the methods by which he prepares his openings and works out new systems from scratch, and how readers can do the same. The broad topics he discusses include Experiments in the Opening, Disturbing the Equilibrium, Strategic Planning, and Opening Formations. He follows this up with a section of examples from modern practice, and theoretical articles on several of the opening lines that he has pioneered, taking us through the creative process, and the highs and lows of the practical testing and refinement of the ideas.
Customer Reviews:
have chess books gotten really good lately, or is it me?.......2006-10-27
someone i read recently, maybe rowson in a column, points out that the way people use the word 'theory' and 'theoretical' in chess has almost the opposite meaning that it has in every other academic field. what chessplayers mean by theory is actually more like "recorded practice." this makes sense to me, and really what i think the chess community is trying to convey by using the word theory is more like "difficult" or "beyond the capacities of undedicated people."
my point in bringing this up is that eingorn's book is what should really be called theory. (don't let that scare you off, it's a beautiful, thoughtful, exciting book, and not insanely difficult.) it tackles the broader ideas in opening theory from a historical and philosophical perspective (i want to say sociologic as well, but that's perhaps ridiculous?), the way openings develop and what causes this. the games are nicely annotated and instructive, but the real strength is the clarity with which eingorn sees the big picture of chess.
i loved watson's books and rowson's; this one is on the same level.

From the supplier: House Resolution No. 1485 was proposed by Congressman Leon Panetta (D-CA) in 1991 to introduce changes in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that would enable CPAs and enrolled agents to represent their clients before the Tax Court in cases involving taxes not exceeding $10,000. Unfortunately, the bill was shot down in 1992. Accountants are urged to lobby for its passage.
