Presents step-by-step instructions on using Photoshop CS6 to create effective photomontages, covering such topics as layers, image adjustment, perspective, shading, 3D layers, and hyper realism.





With enough charm and wit to make learning Photoshop anything but taxing, Steve Caplin delivers the next instalment of the How to Cheat series, containing all the techniques you need to create and master the art of photomontage. Delivered in easy to follow step-by-step tutorials, How to Cheat in Photoshop CS6 covers all the basics of selections and layers before moving on to top tricks and techniques for creating realistic works of art for business, pleasure, or something in between. An accompanying DVD is packed full of practice images and tutorial movies for you to work along with, plus bonus chapters to push your skills even further. Using a tweaked design that is clearer and fresher than previous editions, this is the most fun way to master Photomontage.

This complete How to Cheat in Photoshop CS6 package includes a fully updated book, a DVD containing all of the images used in the helpful tutorials, plus over 5 hours of video tutorials, and a website featuring a reader forum where your questions will be answered by other readers as well as the author himself.
