The Photoshop Elements 5 Book for Digital Photographers

Scott Kelby

New Riders Press, 2006

Finally I see the light
First of all a disclaimer.... I was a reluctant convert to Photoshop, being a somewhat old-fashioned, conservative photography from the days of slides and negatives. I finally bought a copy of PSE 5 at the urgings of some of the younger photographers in my club. However my use of this tool was very limited, because all the instructions I could find seem to need me to be a whiz at the computer. ...

The Benchmark for All Tutorial-Style Computer Text Books
This book is a fantastic example of how all computer text books should be structured - Step-by-step tutorials that demonstrate experienced solutions to real-world projects. I know I speak for many people when I say that I learn by DOING, not by reading paragraphs upon paragraphs of text and lengthy descriptions of "what this app can do for you". No one likes to attempt to digest a "features ...

Adobe Photoshop Restoration & Retouching (3rd Edition)

84 reviews
Katrin Eismann, Wayne Palmer

New Riders Press, 2006

Best Book Out There On Retouching
If you don't like Scott Kelby's Court Jester writing style, get this book. It's written professionally in easy to read phrases. I own both Kelby's and Eastman's book on this topic, and both cover similar things, but sometimes Kelby's results are more to my liking and sometimes Eastman's are. They cover different things too. Excellent book.

Katrin Eismann

New Riders Press, 2004

Photoshop Essential
Although written for Photoshop CS, "Photoshop Masking & Compositing" can easily be applied to CS3. Eismann's experience as a teacher enables her to present complex material in an easy to follow style. The magic of Photoshop jumps off the pages. If you can sit down at a computer and follow step by step instructions in a book, you will wonder how you ever lived without this book.

Flash Enabled: Flash Design and Development for Devices

Phillip Torrone, Branden Hall, ...

New Riders Press, 2002

This book made us money - what more can we say?
This might not be the sort of application the authors envisioned, but the book certainly helped us! We run a small online casino off the coast of Britain, TheGoldCasino (dot-com), and our development staff is fairly sparse (we're aimed primarily at users of e-gold, so we're not a big operation). We wanted to experiment with mobile games, but we assumed the cost would be prohibitive. Flash ...

Viscarola

New Riders Press, 1998

Excellent
This book is VERY well written and VERY readable. I needed other sources to get an actual driver written (see Chris Cant's book) but only because this book gives a much more complete picture and I needed something more specific. That's my point...if you want a good, solid understanding of the system and an excellent reference, get this book. It's not often one finds technical-minded people ...

Maya 6 Killer Tips

Eric Hanson, Kenneth Ibrahim, ...

New Riders Press, 2004

I HATE "TIP" BOOKS...
...but I absolutely LOVE this one. It is everything it says it is. I'm an intermediate user of Maya 5 and found every page had a meaty, time-saving killer tip. It does not waste time with step-by-step instruction, but rather describes the process to achieve a certain effect or technique. If you don't know the Maya interface, this book is not for you. But if you have exhausted all the obvious ...

Logo Design Love: A Guide to Creating Iconic Brand Identities

David Airey

New Riders Press, 2009

A Logo Designer's Guide, FINALLY
I have been a Graphic Designer for about 12 years now. It seems that creativity is one of those things that you are 'supposed to be born with'. WRONG. As David Airey displays on his book, you don't need to be great at drawing or using a computer. David's formula for iconic brand creation goes step by step showing you in normal language the ropes of the design of a great iconic brand design. A ...

Paint in Photoshop!
Bert is a great artist and teacher. I took a class from him, and learned so much, but couldn't absorb it all at once. This book allows you to learn his techniques at your own pace, and will give you the confidence to start creating images from scratch in Photoshop, or add painting techniques to your image manipulation. Highly recommended for intermediate to advanced Photoshop users and all ...

Megan Cunningham

New Riders Press, 2005

Riveting reading
Consider this book a master class in documentary filmmaking. Megan Cunningham's interviews are incredibly engaging - she manages to at once explore each documentarians' creative process, AND discuss how these various filmmakers achieved their success, AND to discuss specific films in-depth AND to elicit the filmmakers' fascinating views on theoretical issues such as what constitutes "cinema ...
