Summary

Now, learn Photoshop fast, as you build two Web sites that reflect today's most common scenarios: a company selling products and educating visitors; and a content site selling ads and subscriptions. Coverage includes: creating backgrounds and layers; working with rulers and guides; masking, gradients; scaling, filling, drop shadows, slicing images, using GIFs and JPEGs correctly, Web-safe color palettes, retouching, filters, effects, tiling, reducing file sizes, and more. The finished sites are posted on the Web, so you can reuse the code, and see how your pages should look -- and work! Essential Photoshop for Web Designers is one of a new series of books that share the same dynamic Web site, and can teach all the Web development skills you need, from PERL to DHTML -- fast!
