Adobe Master Class: Advanced Compositing in Adobe Photoshop CC: Bringing the Impossible to Reality -- with Bret Malley
Product ID: 64625438
In Bret Malley’s world, a father is suspended in the air among his baby’s collection of toys . . . a big-box store and parking lot can be transformed into a scene of reclaimed nature . . . and an ordinary person can sculpt fire with his bare hands. And in Adobe Master Class: Advanced Compositing in Adobe Photoshop CC, Second Edition , Bret shares the techniques he uses to elevate an image from the everyday to the extraordinary, showing you how to make seemingly impossible scenarios come to life. Designed as a comprehensive guide to compositing from start to finish, this book is divided into three sections. Section I provides an overview of Adobe Photoshop CC focusing on both basic and hidden tools and other features you need to master in order to create stunning composite imagery. Bret also shows you how to shoot high-quality photos for compositing, including tips for equipment and technique. Going beyond the mechanics of Photoshop, Section II leaps into hands-on action by guiding readers through the creation of four unique composites. These fun and informative step-by-step projects cover everything from the first planning sketches to the final finishing touches (using resources provided for download). In Section III, additional detailed project walkthroughs offer tips on everything from creating a superhuman to compositing an epic fantasy landscape. Interviews and spreads featuring established and emerging artists provide a range of inspirational imagery, creative insight, and professional know-how. Review: Adavnaced Photoshop - Very good composite book. I said advanced but II believe someone with little skills could follow along. Very detailed, had some photos available so you can do the composites but the one I wanted to do the photos were not available. Review: Triggers the Imagination - Superb guide. It details possibilities that I didn't know were possible. Excellent reference to have on hand.

First Impression: Clear and inspiring
Malley clearly and illustratively breaks down the complexity of Photoshop with wit and humor. The book is clear and not cluttered with confusing stuff you don't need to know. I love the various artists this book showcases because they show an amazing range of compositing possibilities. All work well to inspire confidence! Definitely my Go To book for Photoshop.

Great start for compositors
Great book, lots of useful information. Some of the methods are outdated IMO and require a review. I loved the detail and the steps provided. Would not recommend to anyone without basic knowledge on PS including cutting out, brush skills, layer masks.

Not very informative as a compositing tool. Has some very interesting ideas but this is not a how-to book if that is what you are looking for.

Muy bueno
Varios capitulos con "como se editó" paso a paso. Varios tipos de montaje. He disfrutado leyéndolo. Lenguaje sencillo, no le tengas miedo al inglés.
