Is there a big difference between Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CS2? »

Whats the best guide book for editing digital portraits on photoshop 7. I am new to photo editing?


I have brought Photoshop 7 for dummies and couldn’t really see anything in it about editing people, skin tones and airbrushing. I would be very gratefull if you could guide me in the right direction for a guide book to help me on this matter?

Have a look at http://www.dcmag.co.uk/ and although it mainly covers CS3 and elements, there is not a lot of difference.

    TheAdobre is an English fashion photographer who has written some fantastic books on this subject. His name is Martin Evening and his latest book is called:

    “Adobe Photoshop for photographers”.

    Try your library as well. Personally I stay clear of the “For Dummies” books. You’re NOT a dummy and I find these books ‘talk down to you’ rather than provide clear instructions.

    Hint for airbrushing, there is a special brush which you can set at a low opacity and make very slight changes. Personally I use the “Healing Brush” (I us Adobe CS3) . Apply at 100 % and immediate go to EDIT->FADE HEALING BRUSH.

    Cheers,
    Nick

    Current version of Photoshop is version 11. I can’t even remember what version 7 could do.

    Adobe Lightroom (called Adobe Photoshop Lightroom) has similar fine editing functions. http://www.adobe.com/lightroom that you may find easier to use.
