This chapter is a collection of practical solutions, covering everyday tasks of photographers and retouchers. Perhaps, you can't edit your own images, directly following some ready-made instructions; unlike cooking instructions, these recipes require a creative approach. Anyway, you may consider Recipes as an advanced Photoshop (v6 through 9*) course.

*Recipes for Photoshop CS3 available in fresh version of "ASAP" video-book.

NB Not all topics are available in the demo version. Click here to order the full version of the book.

Important! To play the embedded movies you need Macromedia Flash Player 6. If you can't see a red stripe after this word     click here to get the player from the maker's web server. Normally, the installation takes about 2 minutes or less with a 56 K modem.
Also with some not IE browsers, to see and navigate Flash movies you may want to enable JavaScript.
For example in Opera 7.5, pull down Tools > Quick preferences > Enable JavaScript
Note, that the movie files may be pretty large (up to 1,5 Mb). So please be patient or switch to the silent version here or get full version of the book here.
