User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars A usable practical guide for serious readers.
If you are like me — an intelligent (I hope) experienced computer person who has never used Photoshop but wants to learn how to do useful work (not just play around) — this book is for you. For example, you can actually look in the index and find what you are looking for.
5 Stars Excellent full explanation reference
I liked “Photoshop CS3 for Dummies” as a good overview text – then I use this “Photoshop CS3 All-in-one Reference for Dummies” as a detailed text on most of the heavy features of Photoshop. I was pretty good with Photoshop CS and all the versions of the program before – but I am learning a GREAT deal from this tome on the more sophisticated features.
5 Stars awesome resource
This is a great resource at a fraction of the price of the book from adobe. Highly recommended!
5 Stars A perfect pick for any who find detailed Photoshop coverages confusing.
Plenty of Photoshop CS3 books on the market update information to this latest Photoshop release, but few offer an extensive desk reference packing in the latest tools and techniques of the latest program with easy details on how to do everything from simple adjustments such as specifying size to using layering and blending modes for advanced compositions and refinement. From full color screen shots and color examples of modified photos to techniques and strategies, Photoshop CS3 All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies is one of the most extensive coverages on the market – and a perfect pick for any who find detailed Photoshop coverages confusing.

One entry that caught my eye in the Siggraph Technical Papers Preview was a non-linear 3D Warping technique for video stabilization. Well, some more information is out about that and the results are astounding. The University of Wisconson, partnered with Adobe, has developed a technique that combines traditional 2D motion tracking with nonlinear frame warping to create an image stabilization algorithm that’s the closest I’ve ever seen to professional dolly-systems, completely in software.
