Many designers and photographers own the entire suite of Adobe creative products, but they manage to learn only one or two of the applications really well. This new addition to the popular Non-Designer’s books from best-selling authors Robin Williams and John Tollett uses a series of individual exercises to teach image-editing tasks in Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 specifically to designers, who need to enhance their photos for use in brochures, advertising, Flickr, Facebook, websites, and so on.
In this fun, full-color, straight-forward guide to Photoshop CS5.5, you’ll learn:
- Basic photo editing, such as how to smooth out wrinkles, remove blemishes, lose a little weight, clean up dust and scratches, brighten and sharpen the image, delete people, remove or add space in the middle of a photo, and more
- How to further manipulate and enhance images with filters and effects
- How to draw and paint with customized brushes, and how to colorize a black-and-white image
- All about layers and how to take advantage of them
- How and when to use paths, layer masks, and clipping masks to increase your editing capabilities
- How to merge several photos into one panorama, use the Puppet Warp feature, remove lens distortion, and much more
Whether you need to improve or edit your photos for your graphic design work or to upload to your Flickr or Facebook account, this book is the easiest path to mastering basic tasks in Photoshop.

Robin Williams has written a number of books, like "Non-Designer's Design Book, The (3rd Edition)" and "The Non-Designer's Web Book, 3rd Edition" that provided a limited number of ideas that could prove helpful to the tyro in designing documents and web sites. I wondered if she could pull a hat trick for me with "The Non-Designers Photoshop Book".
Everyone is probably familiar with Photoshop and its ability to create montages of images that could bend the truth. However, it is really a piece of software that allows photographers to do the same thing as they did in their chemical darkrooms and designers at their drafting tables, except more easily and with replicability. Yet if a new user opens Photoshop for the first time the bewildering variety of menus and panels, all with further options, often leaves him or her dazed, confused and despairing of any hope of learning how to use it. But after reading several books and practicing for a good while, photographers and designers can usually master the software. The question for me was could Williams accomplish the same thing in just over 200 pages with plenty of whitespace? Unfortunately the answer was, for me, no.
It's not that the book doesn't cover all the tools possible in Photoshop. But pedagogically, it doesn't succeed. Perhaps I'm a traditionalist, but without some explanation of tonality and color theory, it's hard to understand just what the tools are doing or supposed to do. From the start, there are problems.
