Creating Graphics and Mattes With Adobe Photoshop 7 for Avid Editing Systems

You're a filmmaker not a graphic designer! And "that" means that despite the ease with which you navigate the common interface of Avid's state-of-the-art editing systems (from the high-end Media Composer with Adrenaline to the brand-new Avid Xpress Pro), you may well find Photoshop's maze of palettes and toolbars daunting. Here to help you find your way through that maze--and to get you creating video-ready graphics and mattes for Avid projects quickly--is this handy book/DVD combo from the people who understand editors' graphics needs the best: the experts at Avid. Tackling Photoshop 7 from a purely Avid perspective, this volume ensures that the beautiful images you create with Photoshop translate into workable art in Avid. Through lessons and hands-on exercises, this course-in-a-book offers concise instructions for creating and using still graphics, alpha channels, layer styles and actions, drop shadows, glows, and EPS and PDF files. Step-by-step instructions; screen shots; end-of-chapterreview questions; and a companion DVD with project files, graphics, and media provide all the necessary ingredients for Photoshop mastery for Avid editors.Avid Technology, Inc.
