The art of Photoshop for digital photographers : from image capture to art

"Drawing its inspiration from the Italian region of Tuscany, The Art of Photoshop for Digital Photographers features the images author Daniel Giordan shot during a photo trek through the area, as well as stories and commentary about how the images were captured, technical challenges, and overall aesthetic impressions. The book is not only an instructional guide on how to capture digital images, but is also an inspiration for what to shoot and a behind-the-scenes commentary on how the general impressions of a region translate into tangible digital images." "The book's Gallery section explores Giordan's vision for interpreting the Tuscan region. It presents a suite of eight finished works, along with step-by-step details for how they were created, following the familiar format of the original The Art of Photoshop book."--Jacket
