Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of fielding questions at seminars from Photoshop users, Dave Cross realized there was a lot of common ground: there were many questions that were indeed "frequently asked." In addition, most questions seemed start with “How come I can’t...." "How do I...." or "Why won’t the (fill in the blank) tool work?" This book addresses the most common problems and questions in Photoshop by both providing answers to the most frequently asked questions, and outlining strategies that can help you avoid problems in the first place. You’ll see: • Where to start when things don't work: from tool settings to re-installing Photoshop • The most common warning dialogs: why they appears, how to fix them, and how to avoid them • The Photoshop CS2 Checklist: what to check when things go wrong, or before you start working, to help avoid problems • Solutions to typical problems when using the Adobe Creative Suite • How to avoid problems by creating flexible documents (adjustment layers, layer masks, groups, smart object, layer comps, and more) • Frequently asked questions—and their answers—in all key areas of Photoshop CS2: • general operations (palettes, workspaces, menus, etc.) • color (CMYK, color management, spot color, choosing color, etc.) • type • selections • making adjustments • layers • preferences and settings • image capture (resolution, Camera Raw, file size) • sizing (canvas size, image size, copping) • automation (actions, batch, built-in automation commands) • common image problems (exposure, focus, noise, color cast, etc.) • painting (brushes, choosing color) • output (web, PDF, video, printing) • special effects (filters, layer styles) • tools (that don't fit into any other category) • How to customize Photoshop CS2 to work the way you want it to (actions, menus, workspaces, shortcuts, preferences) • How to make your own brushes, swatches, shapes, styles, and patterns

Browse and manipulate images and multimedia, listen to music and Podcasts, copy music to an iPod, add a printer, sync your Mac to other devices, and take control of Leopard to make it work for you. From the introduction: "Some of you may be rolling your eyes right now; all computers use the file and folder concept and some sort of colorful user interface, so there couldn’t be that much difference between Mac OS X and its competitors, right? Wrong. I don’t just say this because of some blind devotion to all things Apple; I’ve actually used different flavors of Windows and Linux for more than 13 years, right alongside my trusty Mac, so experience has been my teacher. If I have any devotion to Apple, there are plenty of good reasons why, the subject of this book being the first. Readers of this book who are already Mac users understand exactly what I’m talking about. For those of you moving from other computing platforms, it’s my desire that by the end of this book you will have a whole new perspective on computing and see what it means to really have fun while working with your computer. In Mac OS X Leopard Portable Genius you can learn not just the basics, but the subtle nuances and little tips and tricks that make using your Mac that much easier. I’ve covered the gamut, from printing files, surfing the Internet and using e-mail, to partitioning your hard drive, automating repetitive tasks, and using UNIX commands, with just a little bit of geeky humor thrown in for good measure. I hope this book will do justice to Mac OS X Leopard, which isn’t just a computer operating system; it’s an art form."
