Preface Today, whether to learn Photoshop is no longer the question; the real question is when and how to start learning it. We have entered an era of visual communication, where images will become one of the main ways of conveying and expressing ideas. This trend will not change based on personal preferences, so we must face this change and adapt actively. In the digital age, not only are design fields extensively using this image-processing software, but more and more people are also starting to use it in daily life and entertainment. This suggests that mastering Photoshop in the near future will be as normal as most people today mastering Word. If you are still on the fence, it's time to stop waiting. If you have already taken action to learn, this book is an excellent choice. Learning from this book will help you quickly grasp most of Photoshop's basic functions and develop a fundamental level of proficiency.
This book is an upgraded version of the best-selling Black Magic series book Photoshop Basic Tutorial. Building on the original book's strengths—such as clear writing, beautiful examples, and appropriately paced content—it has been significantly optimized and adjusted for the newest Photoshop version CS2. The content is now more closely aligned with practical applications, with richer and more engaging examples, and higher added value. Since the original title no longer fully reflects the book's content after the adjustments, the title has been changed to Photoshop CS2 Chinese Edition: Introduction and Practical Exercises.
Although the title suggests the content is divided into two parts—one for beginners and the other for practical cases—the author has closely integrated these two types of content in the chapter structure and writing process. This design allows readers to transition smoothly from theory to practical exercises, reinforcing their learning and laying a solid foundation for further study.
With so many books available on Photoshop basics, choosing a good one for beginners has become increasingly difficult. To avoid any bias, the author lists the book's key features below for readers to judge.
¤ Easy-to-understand explanations. For a technical book, whether the content is easy to understand directly impacts how quickly readers can grasp unfamiliar terms or concepts. To make the explanations more accessible, the author uses numerous analogies, comparing Photoshop functions and concepts to everyday objects. This significantly enhances learning speed and efficiency.
¤ Stunning examples. For a book focused on graphics and images, the quality of examples directly affects readers' visual experience. A simple way to judge this is to browse the book's color pages. All examples and cases in this book are carefully selected and designed, ensuring readers enjoy a pleasant learning experience.
¤ Rich cases. Learning Photoshop software requires a combination of theory and practice, as exercises help verify understanding and provide intuitive feedback to guide deeper theoretical learning. Recognizing this, the author has designed abundant cases for almost every chapter, with seven large-scale cases in the final chapter.
¤ High added value. To significantly enhance the book's value and make learning more convenient, the accompanying CD-ROM includes nearly 5 hours of video tutorials, greatly reducing learning difficulty and improving efficiency.
Although this is a foundational book, different readers may have varying interpretations of the content after studying it. The author welcomes readers to share their thoughts via email at Lb26@263.net or Lbuser@126.com. For more related books by the author, please visit www.dzwh.com.cn.
