This book is one of three books in the Workshop series providing instructional tutorials for the use of Adobe(R) programs: Illustrator(R) + Photoshop(R) + InDesign(R) These tutorials are specifically created for professionals and students in interior design and architecture but could be beneficial for anyone interested in developing knowledge in these programs and exploring their application to digital visualization. Traditional manual rendering methods included sketching and constructed drawing - the former as a form of quick representation of an evolving idea and a form of design tool, the latter as a refined delineation and examination of a more mature proposal. The intent is not to replace or compete with either traditional methods or photo realistic renderings, rather provide users with effective and time saving digital methods for the design process and the production of presentation and communication documents. Book provides an in-depth study of Adobe Photoshop with a focus on using the program as a design and rendering tool for students and design professionals. Ibook has over 200 pages of systematic and detailed instructions on mastering the program and step-by-step instructions of explaining how to create various components of renderings and assemble them for final rendering views. The book is organized in the order that enables users to study Adobe Photoshop systematically and also serve as a logically organized reference resource for specific topics.
