Photoshop CS Down and Dirty Tricks

Dear Reader:

Welcome to the photo download page, where you can download the same photos I used in the book so you can follow right along with the projects.

Before we get to what to do with these photos, I want to give credit (read as: big love) to the wonderful people at Brand X Pictures. They were kind enough to let me use their amazing stock imagery in the book, but what you’re seeing here is just a tiny spec of the thousands of amazing stock photos they offer, so please drop by their web site at //www.brandx.com and see for yourself why Brand X Pictures is making such an impact on the stock photography market.

There are some shots here that aren’t from Brand X, like the photos of my son, photos taken by me, my wife, my friends, etc. and those are downloadable here too. Of course, the whole idea behind this book is that you use these techniques or your own photos, but until you do, you can practice on these.

Just a quick reminder: These downloadable low-resolution photos, from Brand X Pictures, and the other photographers who have made their photos 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, Web sites, or any other use. Thanks for honoring the copyrights of these talented photographers.
