I'd just like to add my congrats Steve. This book looks like the perfect companion to How To Cheat. I'm sure it will do well.

Re: Coming soon: Art & Design in Photoshop
Many thanks for all your kind comments! I sent the final artwork to the publishers yesterday, and the latest word is that the book should be available on 25th August. I'm really looking forward to this one!

Can't wait to get my own copy Steve. Nice to know it's on the way! I still remember the first time I saw HTCIPS peeking out at me from the bookshelf at Barnes and Noble in Santee, California. Like finding a diamond in the coal!

Hello, is that 25th August in England, in bookshops: or just Amazon? Sorry I'm not an Amazon person.

Er... the Illustrator book's been shelved for the time being. I just don't have the time. Sorry about this.

Re: Coming soon: Art & Design in Photoshop
Amazon UK says October 6th at 15.17 pound, and
Amazon US say 25 August at $39.95 US, So is the saving worth the wait???
have to ponder that one.

October the sixth, according to Waterstones.

At £17.24 for pre-order.

This is terrible. We want it now!

You must be proud Steve that people are clamouring for your book!

Re: Coming soon: Art & Design in Photoshop
I received the book from my pre-order on Amazon.

I am having trouble on page 142 and 143.

The image is not on my CD.

The font, Aquiline is in a format that can't be opened or installed.

Step 2 refers to parchment texture made earlier in the chapter. Where and how do you make this parchment texture?

How did the tearing effect get onto the bottom of the paper.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Page 67, neither the texture, not the brickwork referenced in step 4 are on the CD. As a matter of fact most of the textures are missing. Is there a place on this website I can access them?

Thanks.

That's a very friendly price. US or OZ dollars? + Freight? How did you get this.

Karen,

Sorry you're having difficulty. The image is in fact on the CD - it's in the folder called "Tutorial artwork", Chapter 6, Historical non-fiction. The Photoshop file contains both the image of the globe and the texture behind it.

The parchment shown in step 2 is described on page 110. The tear at the bottom is made in exactly the same way as the tear at the top, which is explained in steps 2 to 4.

The font, Aquiline, should work on all systems - but you're welcome to try downloading the original again here.

Page 67, neither the texture, not the brickwork referenced in step 4 are on the CD. As a matter of fact most of the textures are missing. Is there a place on this website I can access them?


The brickwork and the texture are, indeed, in the Photoshop file on the CD - in the folder "Chapter 3", Line Action and texture.

Some of the images are hidden in the psd files, so they need to be 'turned on' in order to see them. Open the Layers palette, and check them in there. Click the Eye icon next to each layer to view it.

If you're having difficulty working with layers, check out page 232 where you'll find it explained.

Hope this helps!

Steve

Thanks for that information. I use Illustrator for a lot of my work. The psd layers are not available individually in Illustrator. I'll just take each of the psd files into photoshop and resave the individual elements.

I'll also go to dafont.com to download Aquiline.

I appreciate the help.

Karen

Vibeke, thats the price they charged me. The amount is in AUD. Im not sure if it makes a difference as I had pre ordered it when Steve first announced it?

Re: Coming soon: Art & Design in Photoshop
Finally a book that explains font usage. I took a typography class in college and it still didn't do enough justice as to what you see now a days. Thanks Steve!

Re: Coming soon: Art & Design in Photoshop
Hello Steve. I just want to say I bought your book How to Cheat in Photoshop earlier this month and can't put it down!! I went back to the bookstore the next week and couldn't put down Art and Design in Photoshop and had to get it.

I'm so addicted to Photoshop that I rather stay home than go out

I know this book was just released, but do you anticipate another book release in the next few months or within a year?
