Tells how to produce graphic and photographic effects using Adobe software programs--Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Does not set out to describe how to use the programs; instead, serves as a reference for artists familiar with the basic features of the Adobe programs (and, perhaps, familiar with the conventional ways of producing and using particular effects). Discusses how to set up the computer to work efficiently and then how to create effects with lines and perspective, painting and blending, patterns and textures, and text. Also covers duotones, tritones, and quadtones, and printing and production. Many color illustrations. 12x9" Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
