Product Description
This book will show you how to combine the power of Photoshop 7 and Illustrator 10 to take your creative and production skills to new heights. Find out the best way to use them in tandem, with a seamless workflow, for stunning results in your print and web output. The book looks at how the programs work together to help you create great graphics with practical demonstrations of projects you are likely to encounter in your work. You'll learn advanced techniques for working with layer blending modes, the latest tools and new file formats such as SVG, along with color management, animation, printing, web-publishing, and integration with other programs. This book is not for Photoshop and Illustator novices - it's called 'Advanced' because it aims to take your basic skills to the next level and teach you how to create the finest graphics you find in the world around you. The book looks at how the programs can serve each other and you: Adobe has worked hard to make these two applications function more efficiently together - this book will help you to reap the rewards of their labor. Book Info Tutorial offers a practical design project for readers to complete while encouraging experimentation with the tools. Softcover. From the Publisher The aim of this book is to show how Photoshop 7 and illustrator 10 can work together as part of a team; this means looking at their strengths and weaknesses and how they compliment one another. Part 1 is shorter than Part 2 and contains an analysis of each application; how each one performs certain tasks and where the crossover lies. Many functions can be acheived in both and there is a certain amount of personal choice involved - we evaluate the benefits of each one and which may be suited to certain tasks: we want you to find the right balance to maintain a long and happy marriage! In Part 2, we look at the practical applications of each one through a series of projects that detail step-by-step how they may be used in conjunction with each other. The tutorials are backed up with theory and additional information to help you make an informed choice when deciding the workflow that fits you best. We hope to help you make the best use of your skills and talents, so you can go further and achieve more...

This book would have been ALOT better if ALL of the example files were included in their download site. Many of the examples claim to be from Photoshop and Illustrator Sample Files (Stock Photography). But they are not in mine, and I checked the original installation discs and they aren't on them either. It seems rather cheap to have not included a disc with the book.
 Not worth the price April 15, 2004

I don't know why people who don't know what they are doing, write titles and claim to be experts... this book tells you nothing new about Photoshop or Illustrator. You can save your money on this one.
 I liked it February 27, 2004
To the guy who said the reviewers must be friends of the authors, ah, ok sure.
Everyone has their opinion - you didn't like it, I did. I got some useful tips and I really like the way they combined explaining techniques with real projects.
I look forward to an updated version of this book.

I don't know who wrote the other reviews, unless they were friends of the authors... the book does little to promote any knowledge of the programs... and you'd be better off opening Photoshop and Illustrator and figuring it out on your own.Avoid the title... it's not worth the price.
 Better than classroom in a book October 17, 2002
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I have the classroom in a book series for both Illustrator and Photoshop, and this book beats them hands down! The preliminary info is very helpful, explaining the theory, before you move on to trying things. I have always felt that the CIB series didn't always tell me WHy I was doing things, but just told me to do a step. This book covers the WHY and also offers some cool possibilities of other things to try. If you use both Illustrator and Photoshop, this is a great bok. (Even if you only use one or the other, I would still recommend it for the very helpful, practical concepts that it explains)
I hope they keep bringing out more of these types of books.
