If you're at all curious about filters and plug-ins, then The Beginners Guide to Filters and Plug-ins for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements (Windows) is what you need! This 70 page ebook contains everything you need to know to get started - what they are, what they do, how to set up your computer, where to find them, how to get them into your software, and more.
There are thousands and thousands of free filters and plug-ins out there just waiting to expand your creativity in ways you never before dreamed possible. Use filters to create amazing effects on your layouts like puzzles, kaleidoscopes, page curls, and more. Other filters and plug-ins can fix and correct photo's you thought were too bad to save. Make incredible metals, wood, water or art effects. There really is no limit to what can be done with them.
The Beginners Guide to Filters and Plug-ins starts at the very beginning explaining what they are, what they can and can't do, and what you can and can't expect. Then you'll be walked through, step by step (with screenshots), on how to set up your computer and software (with separate screenshots for both Elements and Photoshop). From there we'll go get some free filters and start to play. You'll learn the difference between free filters and purchased ones, how to save and share presets, what environment and reflection maps are, where to find more filters, and more. You'll also be given lots and lots of links to filters and plug-ins, many free, that you might want to add to your collection.
The Beginners Guide to Filter and Plug-ins PS/PSE version is program specific, so you'll see actual screenshots from both programs, no trying to modify something written for another program for use in yours.
Requirements
In order to get the most from The Beginners Guide to Filters and Plug-ins, you should know basic computer functions such as downloading and unzipping, running a virus scan on zips, installing programs, making and moving folders and/or files. You should also be familiar with PS/PSE and digital scrapbooking before proceeding. This ebook will NOT teach you anything about PS/PSE or digital scrapbooking. The Beginners Guide to Filters and Plug-ins will NOT address how to use any specific filter or plug-in in any specific way. That is, it does not contain any tutorials on how to get a specific layout or effect from any filter.
Macintosh users-while this ebook is aimed towards Windows users, the information about filters and plug-ins is not platform specific and you could still learn all that you need to know about them if you so choose. Unfortunately, very few filters and plug-ins, especially free ones, are Mac compatible. This is the only reason I call this a ?windows÷ version. If you would like to learn about filters and plug-ins and can live without a few hundred free filters, you'll have no problem adapting The Beginners Guide to Filters and Plug-ins for Mac use.
