| Welcome to the home of "As Simple As Photoshop" - a video-book for Photoshop users!
This set of
tutorials offers you an original method
of a quick but total immersion into the program environment.
Perhaps you have heard some people saying that Photoshop
is very complex. This is partially true; learning all of
this application may take you years. The "ASAP" (stands
for "As Simple As Photoshop") offers you a faster
way. It tells only the things you have to know at the moment,
skipping the details, as you have lots of time to learn
those when (and if) you need them.
Another speed-up secret is illustrations. Every tutorial here is packed with a short movie showing some practical usage of the wordy lesson. You may play those either one by one, or as a full-size and full-length video (128 clips; total run time - about 4 hours). The elaborated controls allow users instant finding a required page or episode.
In the meantime, the book's interface features all the essential functions available in popular "readers" and web browsers - table of contents, history, bookmarks, text search, and more.
So, you
needn't choose between a Photoshop book and a Photoshop
video anymore. "ASAP" is more than just a book and smarter than just a video. This fusion of the two media suggests completely new approach. For example, you use full-text search to find a particular movie episode, and then bookmark it. Or click a text link and see the related movie frame.

"ASAP" takes you by the hand
and shows you around Photoshop, allowing you to combine
all the possible learning methods - just read it, watch it,
listen to it, and follow it.
The latest edition of the book devoted to Photoshop CS3 (both "Standard" and "Extended" versions) is offered for Windows and Mac OSX platforms. Video-book for older versions (Photoshop 6 through CS2) is available for Windows OS.
The first chapter (available available online and downloadable as free video-book) is a quick overview of Photoshop interface and basic
work principles intended for beginners. Just look around
and have some feeling of working with the program.
Tutorials of the 2nd chapter explain the most essential
Photoshop techniques - color and tonal adjustments, layers,
transformations, selecting, masking, Web-oriented functions, and actions. (Video editing, and printing industry specific topics are beyond the scope.)
The 3rd chapter is a collection of practical solutions for photographers and
retouchers. Real photos, contributed by amateur and professional
photographers, are enhanced, retouched, manipulated for you
in real time, showing most efficient combinations of the skills
explained in the previous chapter.
Some of the tutorials are available online and downloadable as
demo-book.
