The.Photoshop.Channels.Book
Description
One big advantage Photoshop professionals have always had was the understanding of channels. It was their secret weapon, and it enabled them to do things,
and work in an entirely different way than their competitors, and maybe that's why the secret power of Photoshop's channels has been such a closely guarded
secret. Until now.
Award-winning, bestselling author Scott Kelby (Editor of Photoshop User magazine) shows you how to unlock the power of Photoshop's Channels and really start
using Photoshop like a pro. But this isn't a book of theory and technical explanations, this is a step-by-step project-based book that will teach you exactly
how to the pros use channels in their everyday work (Using channels is one of the secrets they use to get twice the work done in half the time).
You'll learn how today's top photographers and graphic designers employ channels to make impossible selections, to speed their production workflow, to color
correct images, to mask images, to create stunning color to black and white conversions, and to do dozens of inside tricks that set them apart from the
field. There's a reason there's always been a mystique to using channels, and why Photoshop users who understand and use them stay on the cutting edge. Now,
their secrets are revealed using the same plain-English style that has made Scott one of the leading Photoshop authors and instructors in the world today.
You'll be amazed at not only what you're able with channels, but you'll love the competitive advantage that using channels will give you. If you're ready to
take your Photoshop skills to the next level, you're holding the book that will take you there, and you're gonna love it!

isualizing Research: A Guide To The Research Process In Art And Design
Carole Gray, Julian Malins, "Visualizing Research: A Guide To The Research Process In Art And Design"
Ashgate Publishing | 2004 | ISBN: 0754635775 | 214 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB
Ashgate Publishing | 2004 | ISBN: 0754635775 | 214 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB
Visualizing Research guides postgraduate students in art and design through the development and implementation of a research project, using the metaphor of a 'journey of exploration'. For use with a formal programme of study, from masters to doctoral level, the book derives from the creative relationship between research, practice and teaching in art and design. It extends generic research processes into practice-based approaches more relevant to artists and designers, introducing wherever possible visual, interactive and collaborative methods. The Introduction and Chapter 1 'Planning the Journey' define the concept and value of 'practice-based' formal research, tracking the debate around its development and explaining key concepts and terminology. 'Mapping the Terrain' then describes methods of contextualizing research in art and design (the contextual review, using reference material); 'Locating Your Position' and 'Crossing the Terrain' guide the reader through the stages of identifying an appropriate research question and methodological approach, writing the proposal and managing research information. Methods of evaluation and analysis are explored, and finally strategies for reporting and communicating research findings are suggested. Appendices and a glossary are also included. Visualizing Research draws on the experience of researchers in different contexts and includes case studies of real projects. Although written primarily for postgraduate students, research supervisors, managers and academic staff in art and design and related areas, such as architecture and media studies, will find this a valuable research reference. An accompanying website www.visualizingresearch.info includes multimedia and other resources that complement the book.

X3D.Extensible.3D.Graphics.for.Web.Authors
Description
In the early days of the Web a need was recognized for a language to display 3D objects through a browser. An HTML-like language, VRML, was proposed in 1994
and became the standard for describing interactive 3D objects and worlds on the Web. 3D Web courses were started, several best-selling books were published,
and VRML continues to be used today. However VRML, because it was based on HTML, is a stodgy language that is not easy to incorporate with other applications
and has been difficult to add features to. Meanwhile, applications for interactive 3D graphics have been exploding in areas such as medicine, science,
industry, and entertainment. There is a strong need for a set of modern Web-based technologies, applied within a standard extensible framework, to enable a
new generation of modeling & simulation applications to emerge, develop, and interoperate. X3D is the next generation open standard for 3D on the web. It is
the result of several years of development by the Web 3D Consortium's X3D Task Group. Instead of a large monolithic specification (like VRML), which requires
full adoption for compliance, X3D is a component-based architecture that can support applications ranging from a simple non-interactive animation to the
latest streaming or rendering applications. X3D replaces VRML, but also provides compatibility with existing VRML content and browsers. Don Brutzman
organized the first symposium on VRML and is playing a similar role with X3D; he is a founding member of the consortium. Len Daly is a professional member of
the consortium and both Len and Don have been involved with the development of the standard from the start.
* The first book on the new way to present interactive 3D content over the Web, written by two of the designers of the standard
* Plentiful illustrations and screen shots in the full color text
* Companion website with extensive content, including the X3D specification, sample code and applications, content creation tools, and demos of compatible
Web browsers

Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists
Description
It has been more than twenty years since desktop publishing reinvented design, and it's clear that there is a growing need for designers and artists to learn
programming skills to fill the widening gap between their ideas and the capability of their purchased software. This book is an introduction to the concepts
of computer programming within the context of the visual arts. It offers a comprehensive reference and text for Processing , an open-source programming
language that can be used by students, artists, designers, architects, researchers, and anyone who wants to program images, animation, and interactivity.
The ideas in Processing have been tested in classrooms, workshops, and arts institutions, including UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, New York University, and Harvard
University. Tutorial units make up the bulk of the book and introduce the syntax and concepts of software (including variables, functions, and
object-oriented programming), cover such topics as photography and drawing in relation to software, and feature many short, prototypical example programs
with related images and explanations. More advanced professional projects from such domains as animation, performance, and typography are discussed in
interviews with their creators. "Extensions" present concise introductions to further areas of investigation, including computer vision, sound, and
electronics. Appendixes, references to other material, and a glossary contain additional technical details. Processing can be used by reading each unit in
order, or by following each category from the beginning of the book to the end. The Processing software and all of the code presented can be downloaded and
run for future exploration.
