Photoshop CS4 Down and Dirty Tricks

Dear Reader:

Welcome to the image and video download page, where you can download some of the same images I used in the book, along with some fonts, and follow right along with the projects, as well as download Chapter 9’s video tutorials created by Corey Barker.

Now, while the images here – taken or created by myself or Corey, or provided by iStockphoto – are downloadable, the whole idea behind this book is that you use these techniques on your own images, but until you do, you can practice on these. Some images are not available for download due to permissions issues, or because you don’t need specific images (any of your own will do) to complete the technique.

I do want to give credit (read as: big love) to the wonderful people at iStockphoto. They were kind enough to let us use their amazing stock imagery in the book, but what you’re seeing here is just a tiny speck of the thousands of amazing stock photos they offer. So, please drop by their website at www.istockphoto.com and see for yourself why iStockphoto has made such an impact on the stock photography market.

Well, that’s pretty much it. I hope you enjoy following along with these images. Thanks so much for buying the book, and giving me the opportunity to show you some of the really cool special effects you can create with Photoshop CS4.

Just a quick reminder: These downloadable images – from myself, Corey, and iStockphoto, made available to you here – are licensed for your personal use only in practicing the techniques shown in the book. They are not licensed for use in any other manner, including commercial projects, websites, or any other use. Thanks for honoring our copyrights.
