The “Photoshop CS4 for Designers” video course goes beyond using Photoshop as a photography tool and teaches you how to create eye-catching design effects with photos and even from scratch. The 18 lessons comprise almost three hours of how-tos. Topics include creating effects using halftones, backgrounds, brushes, photos, light, text, shapes, and more.
In this excerpt, which is Lesson 05: Graphic Effects, you’ll begin with three ordinary stock photos and end with a rich, multi-layered image.
