Product Description
Advanced Photoshop Magazine, Issue 18
Beardsworth explains the processes clearly and accurately.
Book Description
How would you like to create your own Impressionist landscape, Picasso portrait, or surrealist Salvador Dali dream world? Or perhaps an Ansel Adams shot of Yosemite, an authentic 19th-century Daguerreotype, or an experimental scraped Polaroid? It’s easy. Such is the power of Photoshop that the possibilities for manipulating digital images have become almost infinite. As a result, anyone with a reasonable amount of skill and patience is able to transform themselves into an accomplished digital forger.
Photoshop Fine Art Cookbook lifts the lid on the secrets of professional image-makers and reveals all you need to know to turn your original digital photographs into pictures that mimic the style of great photographers and painters. The book begins with advice on how to develop an "artist’s eye" by analysing subject matter, composition, and colour to identify what makes a particular artist’s style unique. It then moves on to an overview of all the basic skills and techniques you’ll need to become an expert image manipulator, and offers scores of detailed workthroughs showing exactly how to create a wide variety of convincing images – covering artists ranging from Vermeer to van Gogh and photographers from Brassai to Bill Brandt.
Photoshop Fine Art Cookbook is both an essential guide to understanding and simulating the work of great artists and a whole lot of fun. It’s a book that will appeal to anyone with a digital camera, a computer, and a copy of Photoshop.

This book shows how to recreate various photographic and artists styles using your own photos as a starting point. each project is clearly explained and illustrated and most are reasonably simple to complete. I have had a lot of fun with this book and found it an easy way to learn more about using photoshop while i did so. It's easier to pick up tips and techniques for using photoshop while creating something rather than just reading about what the programme will do and how. i have changed quite a few very ordinary photos into something different and original using this book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to do more than just retouch their photos
