Photoshop CS5: The Missing Manual Webcast

Combining photos and vectors in Photoshop - free 1 hour class!

To celebrate the release of my new book, O'Reilly Media and myself are hosting a live, one-hour webcast this morning, July 8, at 10:00 am Pacific time called Combining Photos and Vectors.

How much it costs:

It's completely free! Plus you get a special code to receive 40% discount off my nearly 900 page book as well as a link to receive 5 free images -- plus a one-time 20% coupon -- from iStockphoto. What's not to love?

Who's it for:

This webcast is for anyone who uses Photoshop CS2 or latter (we'll be using Smart Objects), especially graphic designers, or photographers who are looking to spice up their images with creative embellishments (also great for breakups, family reunions, etc.). Folks with any skill level will be able to follow along as I'll provide a brief description of what vectors actually are before we get started.

What you'll learn:

During the webcast, you'll learn how to easily combine illustrations with photography in this super creative session. Glean the secret to importing vectors into your Photoshop document so you can experiment with them as backgrounds, artful embellishments, ornamental photo frames, and more — all without losing an ounce of quality. You'll also learn how to use Photoshop's vector Shape tools to create resizable and featherable masks in no time flat. Good times!
