|Quick read, to the point, well illustrated, with some 3D inspiration,
While I found the whole book valuable, my two favorite chapters were Chapter 2, the 26 Piece Tool Set, and Chapter 7, A Dream Within a Dream. In Chapter 2 there is a subsection where he takes a plain brown graphic, sort of fleur de lis-ish, and with layer style turns it into a dramatic, metallic, three-dimensional image (without using real 3D techniques for CS5 Extended). It was a very impressive transformation.
Chapter 7 is about 3D, which requires Adobe Photoshop Extended CS5, and given the fact it is written by Corey Barker, the Photoshop TV (podcast) 3D guy of course it’s great. He explains in the book that he also has a video demonstrating the topic on-line; I personally like the print version. I’ve see him demo 3D numerous times on the podcast, and seeing it is print, where I can internalize at my speed what he is doing is more concrete. I can then refer to it when I’m actually in front of the computer, turning my company logo into a cool 3D image.
He also utilizes the define brush command, which granted, I’ve done, but really rarely use. He refers to it a couple of times in the book, to again create these 3D type effects, (again without using real 3D techniques for CS5 Extended) like lightening, or a blood splat, and I think to myself, “Now how can I work in lightening?” Because it looks so great. From the Photoshop 3D guy, 3D effects without CS5 extended.

|Not just for Designers,
Have you ever seen a cool poster and wished you could do that?
Want to market an item but your ideas look flat?
Want to portray people in cool and visually striking ways?
If you said yes to any of these then buy this book! I’m not sure how many tutorials are in here, but there are a lot. The tutorials aren’t 20 pages long to show you one thing either. They are to the point and easy to follow. If you’re still not sure, click over to PlanetPhotosop and watch some of Corey’s lessons. I think you’ll be back after that. Enjoy the book & share your work!
