But Deke’s done it to me again! If you want to learn Photoshop CS5 from the ground up, look no further.” —Scott Kelby President, National Association of Photoshop Professionals “Deke McClelland has probably forgotten more than most people will ever know about Photoshop. He’s insanely thorough (and just maybe insane), with a teaching style that’s both engaging and practical. I think you’ll love what he has to offer.” —John Nack Principal Product Manager, Adobe Photoshop and Bridge, Adobe Systems “In my past life as a Photoshop Product Manager, I continually turned to Deke and his books to dive deeper into the product. Whether you’re a newbie or a hardened user, his One-on-One series will speak to you. There’s nobody I would trust more to teach me Photoshop.” —Karen Gauthier Senior Product Manager, Adobe Photoshop (1998–2005) Director, Product Management, Gridiron Software (current) “Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One is like having Deke next to you while you learn how to organize, correct, retouch, and sharpen your photos. To me it’s crystal clear! Deke loves exploring software to find the best techniques for improving images. And his easy-to-understand, cut-to- the-chase explanations are invaluable.” —Katrin Eismann Chair, Digital Photography, School of Visual Arts “It’s like having Deke right there with you, with all his friendly insights, sharp skills, and vast experience. Only you don’t have to feed him.” —Michael Ninness Senior Product Manager, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Systems “It’s obvious why Deke is one of the most popular teachers of Photoshop. Throughout the book, he blends humor and authority in a way that makes simple work of Photoshop’s most complex features. You feel like he’s right there with you. It really is one-on-one!” —Julieanne Kost Photoshop Evangelist, Adobe Systems Praise for Adobe Photoshop One-on-One “What an awesome way to get deep inside Photoshop CS5: with lessons and techniques that are easy to follow and bring a new insight! Thanks Deke, for the pearls of wisdom and wonderfully illustrated lessons and references. This book helps us develop techniques to bring image quality to a new level. A great source of learning, one on one!” —Eddie Tapp, M.Photog.,Cr.,MEI,API,CPP imaging and workflow consultant, educator, photographer, author “Once again Deke pushes Photoshop training to the next level.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One is the next generation of how to learn Photoshop!” —Kevin Ames photographer, author of Adobe Photoshop: The Art of Photographing Women “Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One provides more bang-for-the-buck than any Photoshop book I’ve seen. With the very readable full-color pages and the incredible video training, Deke gives you a multi-media package, rather than just a Photoshop book. Informative and entertaining, instructional and engaging, One-on-One is appropriate both for self-study and classroom use. It’s the fundamentals of Photoshop taught by one of the most accomplished Photoshop instructors of all time!” —Pete Bauer Help Desk Director, National Association of Photoshop Professionals “With his One-on-One series, Deke McClelland has created what might just be the best all- around way to learn Photoshop. The combination of video material, which is created specifically for the book, along with the project-based lessons in each chapter, is unbeatably effective. Highly recommended!” —Colin Smith Proprietor, photoshopCAFE.com “Diving into Deke’s latest Adobe Photoshop CS5 book is like a brilliant undersea adventure. Discovering his ‘Pearls of Wisdom’ makes each new chapter like a fantastic treasure hunt of great tips and techniques. Get out your digital swim fins and get ready to learn a boat load of information about CS5!” — Cap’n Russell “Mad Sea-Dog” Brown Senior Nautical Director, Adobe Systems Adobe Photoshop CS5 Also from Deke Press Photoshop Elements 8 One-on-One Adobe InDesign CS4 One-on-One Photoshop CS4 Channels and Masks One-on-One Upcoming titles from Deke Press Adobe Illustrator CS5 One-on-One Beijing • CamBridge • Farnham • Köln • SeBaStopol • taipei • toKyo deKe m C Clelland Adobe Photoshop CS5 Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One by Deke McClelland Copyright © 2010 Type & Graphics, Inc.
