The new project-based training series is designed to give viewers a new appreciation of some of Photoshop's most creative tools.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 is a deep enough application that it can require years to really master all its functionality. Deeper again is the Extended version, which notably adds capabilities in the realm of 3D. Thus, a training title directed specifically at the advanced capabilities of CS4 Extended makes sense. Total Training has been around for some time, providing training videos both on DVD and via online subscription, with a focus on applications used by designers and site developers. Its latest title, Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended: Mastering Advanced Techniques, is the work of Brian Maffitt, who has been using Photoshop since the days of version 1 and has been involved in photo-manipulation techniques for the architecture, engineering and entertainment sectors.

The title, geared to intermediate to advanced users, provides five hours of training on such topics as the use of Smart Objects to organize projects; how to use Curves as an effective 3D modeling tool; techniques for importing complex 3D models and integrating them into a Photoshop 3D scene; and explanations of how in 32-bit space, color behaves like real-world light.

This is a practical, project based series that will give viewers a new appreciation of some of Photoshop's most creative tools. Viewers will gain a new appreciation for Smart Object workflow, Photoshop 3D, and 32-bit color space. The project-based chapters begin with valuable tips for artistic compositing including using channels for difficult masks and sophisticated layer management with Smart Objects. In addition, viewers will explore 3D Modeling—using only tools found in Photoshop— as well as a practical workflow for merging 3D layers with models from outside sources.

The training also introduces viewers to techniques for texturing and lighting models using the 3D Panel, choosing appropriate scene settings & render presets and creating photorealistic detail with bump maps. The chapters close with a look at 32-bit color space as an artistic tool, and managing bit-depth for export using Smart Objects.!

* Discover how Smart Objects can be used to organize your projects

* Use "Curves" as an effective 3D modeling tool

* Learn how you CAN import complex 3D models and integrate them into a Photoshop 3D scene. It is difficult, but it CAN be done, and it is definitely worth it.

* See how in 32-bit space, color behaves like real-world light.
