Photoshop CS3 for Screen Printers details the features of Photoshop CS3
and is geared toward print facilities, mainly screen printers and
similar types of graphic artists. Features important to these industries
include creating a personalized interface, acquiring images from
clients’ disks, acquiring images by scanning existing artwork, importing
and exporting images, and creating new images. Color separations also
play a big role in these industries, as does printing on specialty films
and papers. The Photoshop interface is also discussed, including the
toolbox, the palettes, the menu and options bars, and the Adobe Bridge.
Additionally, the finer points of printing are detailed, including
adding and using crop marks, registration marks, and captions, and
producing four-color separations.

Unlike the early days of Photoshop, for several years now most Photoshop
books have been aimed at photographers; there is a big hole on the
bookstore shelf that needs to be filled by a Photoshop book that is
geared specifically towards graphic design professionals and production
artists. This core audience should not have to wade through useless
chapters of content geared towards other users of the application,
namely professional photographers, web designers, and video editors.
Mastering Photoshop for Print Design and Production sets graphic
designers and production artists in the right direction when
implementing the latest version of Photoshop into their everyday
workflow. It demonstrates how to use Photoshop for all aspects of print,
from simpler tasks such as basic color correction and masking, to more
advanced tasks such as color management, utilizing layer comps, and
troubleshooting and automating RGB-to-CMYK color conversion. Entirely
four-color throughout, Mastering Photoshop for Print Design and
Production fulfills the promise of the Mastering series, to provide
real-world skills to professionals and students. Like all Mastering
books, this one includes:

- A “by pros for pros” approach: The author is an active professional
working in graphic arts, layout, and design, writing for professionals
who want to improve their skills or learn new skills.
- Real-world examples: Running throughout the text are examples of how
the various skills are applied in scenarios faced by real practitioners.
- Skill-based teaching and hands-on exercises.
- Companion files for tutorials and projects are provided on the
accompanying CD-ROM. Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials
are not included as part of eBook file.
