My fellow Photoshop users
FROM: Andy Anderson
Anybody remember Barney Scan?
And no, he wasn’t the short guy on the Flintstones. About 12
years ago, I came across a radically new program released under
the name of Barney Scan. I remember thinking, “Wow, this has
INCREDIBLE potential.” Obviously, the folks at Adobe agreed,
because they bought it and molded it into the most awesome image-editing
program on the planet: Photoshop.
My life and times with Photoshop
After I’d rolled up my sleeves and got busy with Photoshop
for about a decade, I decided to share all the tips, tricks and
insights I’d learned by writing 1001 Adobe Photoshop Tips.
The book just kept growing until it weighed in at over 1,700 pages.
Always a glutton for punishment, I followed it by writing Adobe
Photoshop 7 Creative Workshop.
I take my show on the road, too, which is what Andy
Anderson’s Photoshop® Tips & Techniques is
all about. In a single, information-packed day you’ll get the
inside scoop on Photoshop’s vast collection of image-editing
tools – and you’ll learn design and image-manipulation
tips and tricks used by digital masters.
We’ll cover all the cool stuff ...
- Discover where Adobe hid all the cool new bells
and whistles in Photoshop 7
- Get your creative juices flowing with Photoshop’s
new Artistic Brushes
- Unleash your creative side with Blending modes
- Turn a sunny day into a rainy night using professional
graphic manipulation techniques
- Use Photoshop’s beefed-up Liquify plug-in
to create special effects that are out of this world
Plus, find out how to save time and effort –
and get far better results
- Cut production time by 20 percent by using precise
organizational techniques
- Use Tool presets to handle repetitive tasks
with ease
- Create Web animation sequences the easy way
- Learn five organizational steps that’ll
make every Photoshop design a success
- Gain little-known shortcuts that’ll help
you power through any Photoshop project
- Customize your workspace, and make Photoshop
open exactly the way you want it to
Create graphics that’ll have other designers
asking: How did they do that?
Bottom line, no other one-day course gives you so much information
about gaining control over Photoshop. So if you’re ready to
produce mind-blowing imagery that’ll stand out from the competition
– and to work better, smarter and faster in Photoshop –
enroll right now. Join me for just one day, and you’ll leave

Keep the faith and keep learning ...
