Foreword

In the short but crowded history of consumer technology, only two products ever became so common, influential, and powerful that their names become verbs .

Google is one.

Photoshop is the other.

(Did you Google that guy who asked you out? Yeahhes crazy. He Photoshopped his last girlfriend out of all his pictures!)

Its safe to say that these days, not a single photograph gets published, in print or online, without having been processed in Photoshop first. Its usually perfectly innocent stuff: a little color adjustment, contrast boosting, or cropping.

But not always. Sometimes, the editing actually changes the photo so that it no longer represents the original, and all kinds of ethical questions arise. Remember when TV Guide Photoshopped Oprahs head onto Ann-Margarets body? When Time magazine darkened O.J. Simpsons skin to make him look more menacing on the cover? Or when National Geographic moved two of the pyramids closer together to improve the composition?

Well, you get the point: Thanks to Photoshop, photography is no longer a reliable record of reality. Photoshop is magic.

And now, all that magic is in your hands. Use it wisely.

Trouble is, Photoshop is a monster. Its huge . Just opening it is like watching a slumbering beast heave into consciousness. Dudes, Photoshop has over 500 menu commands .

In short, installing Photoshop is like being told that youve just won a 747 jumbo jet. You sit down in the cockpit and survey the endless panels of controls and switches. Now what?

You dont even get a printed manual.

If there were ever a piece of software that needed the Missing Manual treatment, it was Photoshop.

The beast has been tamed at last by its new master, Lesa Snider: a natural-born Missing Manual author with Photoshop credentials as long as your arm.

She had worked on Missing Manuals, side by side with me in my office, for four years, in all kinds of editorial and production capacities. Today, when shes not writing the bestselling Photoshop book (youre reading it), shes out in the real world, teaching Photoshop seminars, writing Photoshop articles, reviewing Photoshop for magazines, and generally serving as Photoshop guru to the masses.

The Missing Manual mantra runs through her blood: Make it clear, make it entertaining, make it complete (hence the thickness of this book). And above all, dont just identify a feature: Tell us what its for . Tell us when to use it. (And if the answer is, Youll never use it, tell us that, too.)

Now, Ill be the first to admit that this book isnt for everybody. In fact, its aimed primarily at two kinds of people: people who have never used Photoshop, and people who have.

But seriously, folks. If youre new to Photoshop, youll find patient, friendly introductions to all those nutty Photoshoppy concepts like layers, color spaces, image resolution, and so on. And, mercifully, youll find a lot of loving attention to a time-honored Missing Manual specialtytips and shortcuts. As Photoshop pros can tell you, you pretty much have to learn some of Photoshops shortcuts or it will crush you like a bug.

On the other hand, if you already have some Photoshop experience, youll appreciate this books coverage of Photoshop CC 2014s new features: Focus Area, perspective warp, new blur filters, new font features, smarter smart guides, 3D printing, and so on.

In 2013, Adobe announced that from now on, you must rent Photoshop, monthly or yearly. You can no longer buy it outright. One of the motivations, Adobe said, was a desire to create an ever-changing, ever-improving Photoshop. There wouldnt be one megalithic new version every couple of years. Instead, little enhancements would come along all year long, added as soon as they were ready.

So what are we to make of this Photoshop CC 2014 thing? Are we back to yearly megalithic releases? Has Adobe abandoned its Photoshop Forever concept?

Yes and no. The company still plans to update Photoshop all year long. But it also plans to create the periodic milestone edition of Photoshop, a breather, a catch-up version that rolls in all the little changes (and a few more) since the last one. In part, this idea is a crumb thrown to people who write (and buy) books about Photoshop; nobody would be served well if Photoshop were a shape-shifting target forever.

In any case, get psyched. You now have both the most famous, powerful, magical piece of software on earth and a 900+-page treasure map to help you find your way.

The only missing ingredients are time, some photos to work on, and a little good taste. Youll have to supply those yourself.

Good luck!
