Graphic designers, DTP specialists, photographers, and anyone who creates images and illustrations using a computer use painting and retouching programs. These programs contain a large number of tools (filters) that allow for the creation, editing, and transformation of images and photos in various ways, but their application requires extensive specialized knowledge. The book explains, with numerous illustrations (some in color), how to use these tools effectively and what results can be achieved with different settings. The presentation is cross-program. This makes it possible to specifically find and apply the desired effects and programs. For Macintosh and Windows!.
