Features: Photoshop CS is one of the most frequently used industry-standard software among image creators, web designers, photographers, and video professionals worldwide. Its emergence has transformed Photoshop from a mere image editing tool into a means for designers to realize their imagination quickly and with high quality. Its powerful and creative functions provide designers with fresh inspiration and ideas. On one hand, this book adopts a "task-driven" writing approach, incorporating case-based teaching and heuristic methods to stimulate students' learning interest. On the other hand, the combination of theory and practice is also a distinctive feature of this book. For each chapter introducing new operations, practical examples are used to explain and solve problems, integrating the chapter's key points into the process. This book systematically introduces the operational environment of Photoshop CS, the toolbars for freely editing images, various menu commands for modifying photo colors and shapes, layers and channels essential for composite images, panels that make work easier, filter commands for creating new images, and various advanced features for convenient work. Additionally, each chapter is accompanied by exercises, and case materials, sample outputs, and answers to after-chapter exercises are included on the accompanying CD-ROM for self-study. The Photoshop CS interface has not changed significantly, so this textbook is also suitable for users of Photoshop 7.0. This book can serve as a learning textbook for secondary vocational schools, junior and senior colleges, and related majors. It can also be used as a reference book for beginners and intermediate-level graphic designers and Photoshop enthusiasts for self-study.
