For those who have little or no experience with this type of program, this Book is intended. Nothing is difficult when we have desires and ambitions to learn. With this text we put at your disposal all the detailed theory, with practical applications, thickened with abundant descriptive images as an example and exercises that you can execute from Photoshop, while you advance in the study. To help and facilitate the understanding of the lessons, we provide you with a free downloadable package ( link at the end of this book ) with exercises and images that I recommend doing while reading this book. You must have a version of Photoshop installed to run the exercises while alternating with reading the book.
