Adobe Photoshop CS Special Effects and Filters Forrest Stroud
Special Effects and Filters
The special effects and filters are the crux of Photoshop's power. From professional photography tools like dodge, burn, and sponge (for correcting exposure and color saturation) to nearly 100 special effects filters (including image sharpening, softening, stylizing, removal of dust and scratches, lighting, and more), Photoshop gives unprecedented image enhancement and manipulation capabilities to power users and also makes them as intuitive and easy to use as possible for neophytes.
A full assortment of drawing and painting tools (pencil, brush, airbrush, clone, text, line, gradient, etc.), retouching tools (smudge, sharpen, blur, and rubber stamp), text formatting (leading, kerning, tracking, etc.), transformation tools (distort, scale, skew, rotate, move, and add perspective), and image adjustment options (for brightness, contrast, and midtones) add to Photoshop's unequaled repertoire of design tools.
