Creative Photoshop Techniques by Bryan Allen, Michael J. McNamara Media wizard Bryan Allen shows how to use a computer program to blend photographic elements into seamless images. In lucid steps, Allen uses his exceptional portfolio of commercial assignments to explain computer hardware, Photoshop, and peripheral programs. Twenty existing images are reconstructed layer by layer, allowing readers to follow the graphic's evolution on screen.
All creativity starts with an idea.
You can produce the most technically brilliant shot, with every pixel massaged to perfection, but if the idea behind it is not good, the image will fall short every time. Through this book, Bryan Allen has found a way to combine his photographic vision, his incredible imagination, and his technical proficiency into a manual that teaches more about the creative process than any other work on Photoshop. For that reason alone, Digital Wizardry is an exceptional book that I think should be part of any Photoshop curriculum, and a reference to turn to when you need inspiration.
