What's in the fourth edition?
The fourth edition of How to Cheat in Photoshop will be available in early June. To prevent confusion, the version number is now included as part of the title: so the new book will be called How to Cheat in Photoshop CS3, with a spiffy new cover: Let me point out first of all that this is not an entirely new book, but rather an update to the earlier editions. That said, it does have more pages, and I've trimmed some of the less important tutorials from earlier editions to make room for, in all, over 90 pages of new and revised material. New tutorials include several examples that have made Friday Challenges since the last edition, including:
Buying the book It helps me a little to keep the forum running if you buy the book through these links. Readers in the US should click here to buy the book at Amazon.com. Readers in the UK should click here to buy the book at Amazon.co.uk. Those of you in Spain, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and other far-flung outposts of the world will just have to pop down to your local bookstores! This new edition has been a lot of fun to write, largely due to the varied and stimulating input from all the members of this Forum. I hope that, should you choose to buy it, you'll enjoy it. Those of you who have taken part in Friday Challenges may well find your work included in the examples. Whether or not you decide to take a look at the new edition, I hope you'll keep coming back to continue to make this forum so much fun for everyone. Keep on Photoshopping! Steve |

Re: What's in the fourth edition?
Steve, how useful will this be for us dinosaurs who are stuck with PS7? I notice that the third edition says on the cover that it's updated for CS3, but in fact I was able to do nearly all of the projects except for image warping. Will this be the case for the new version? I'd really like to buy it, but I can't afford CS2 or CS3 at the moment. _________________ Wrinkled was not one of the things I wanted to be when I grew up ... |

Re: What's in the fourth edition?
As ever, Kate, it's a balance between filling the needs of readers who have the latest version, while not alienating those who don't. Certainly, there's plenty in here that doesn't require CS3, or even CS2. As to whether you should go for it... I'm tempted to say save up for CS3! Although my publishers would hate to read this! |

Turning Heads involves turning an entire head from full frontal to three quarter view, using the Liquify tool. You can see a greatly speeded up version of this on YouTube Steve, that is VERY COOL! |

Looking forward to the new book. The face warp video is very impressive. The model bears an uncanny resemblance to Patrick Stewart, the bass resonanced Shakesperean thespian and starship captain. Did you "Make it so" Steve? |

Actually Canadians can click here to get it at Amazon.ca. Unless it is not part of the Amazon deal you have? _________________ |

Re: What's in the fourth edition?
Since I have CS3 UPGRADE!, I no longer need CS2, but was wondering if I could get away giving it away to someone like Katew who would then have to "activate" it for it to work? any suggestions or help appreciated. Michael |

Re: What's in the fourth edition?
Sounds good to me and generous too. However, I have one caveat. If ever you needed to re-install CS3 Upgrade you may possibly need the disc or at least the s/n of your CS2. Just thinking aloud and maybe worth checking. Ted |

Re: What's in the fourth edition?
Ted is on the right track. Your CS2 product is the basis for your upgrade and the two are intimately linked together. Your CS3 license subsumes and includes your CS2 license. See this link for the license transfer policy (UK): http://www.adobe.com/uk/support/service/transowner.html You will note that transfering your CS3 license would also transfer the previous CS2 license. Hence, you cannot transfer the CS2 license independantly of the CS3 license. |

That's a shame; it appears I cannot help here: sorry Katew, and thanks Bob for the legal info. Michael |

Re: What's in the fourth edition?
I've pre-ordered my copy also, but I fear it will be quite some time before I can afford CS3. Hopefully I will be able to try it on for size at work soon. |
