In this part ...
This part covers all things Photoshop. For the lowdown on repairing or jazzing up old photos, Chapter 12 is your guide to Photoshop tools and techniques for restoring faded color and eliminating the ravages of time, like creases, scratches, and dust. Peruse Chapter 13 to see how to use Photoshop to merge images into a single, giant photograph. Chapter 14 presents Photoshop layers, which are a great tool for creating digital art photography. And because Photoshop offers so many creative and tempting filters, I dedicate a whole chapter here to them (Chapter 15).
