Perspective Warps and Distorts with Adobe Tools: Volume 1: Putting a New Twist on Photoshop

Gain skills in image and logo manipulation that will enhance your designs and make them more appealing--either in your portfolio or for your client's next graphic project.
As Adobe's Photoshop and Illustrator have evolved, new and unique features have been added to these programs that offer different options for warping and distorting graphics and shapes. For the beginner and intermediate student or graphic artist, choosing or knowing which distort or warp tool to use among so many available can become overwhelming and confusing.
This book primarily focuses on teaching how to work with various warping tools and filters in Photoshop, though you will also be using graphics acquired from Adobe Illustrator. Knowing how to work between these two applications is a crucial part of understanding how to successfully manipulate your designs. In Photoshop, you'll see how to alter both raster images and vector graphics, and learn how to do this with layers in various non-destructive ways.
Some of the filters mentioned in this book will be familiar to you, as you may have used them frequently. However, others are well hidden, are new, or perhaps you have never considered that you could use that tool, dialog box, or filter to warp or distort. What You Will Learn

學習圖像和標誌操作的技巧，以增強你的設計並使其更具吸引力-不論是在你的作品集中還是為客戶的下一個圖形項目。隨著Adobe的Photoshop和Illustrator的發展，這些程序新增了新的獨特功能，提供了不同的選項來扭曲和變形圖形和形狀。對於初學者和中級學生或圖形藝術家來說，在這麼多可用的扭曲或變形工具中選擇或知道使用哪一個可能會讓人感到不知所措和困惑。

本書主要關注教授如何使用Photoshop中的各種扭曲工具和濾鏡，但你還將使用從Adobe Illustrator獲取的圖形。了解如何在這兩個應用程序之間工作是理解如何成功操作你的設計的重要部分。在Photoshop中，你將看到如何以各種非破壞性的方式改變光柵圖像和矢量圖形，並學習如何使用圖層來實現這一點。

本書提到的一些濾鏡可能對你來說很熟悉，因為你可能經常使用它們。然而，其他一些濾鏡可能被很好地隱藏起來，是新的，或者你可能從未考慮過你可以使用該工具、對話框或濾鏡來扭曲或變形。

你將學到什麼：
- 熟練使用Photoshop中的扭曲工具和濾鏡，以及如何糾正照片中的基本變形並添加透視效果
- 掌握從Illustrator將插圖轉移到Photoshop中使用
- 發現如何扭曲和變形文字
- 生成獨特的圖案
- 使用智能對象圖層和智能濾鏡
- 與舊工具和新的增強工具結合使用

本書適合對成為圖形藝術家、攝影師或視頻藝術家/動畫師感興趣的初學者和中級讀者。
