Book Reviews of The Photoshop and Painter Artist Tablet Book: Creative Techniques in Digital Painting
Book Review: So so for PC users
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been trying to follow this book for some time now but all of the little windows shown for how to adjust something are for Mac rather than PC. Not only do they look very different on my PC from the pictures she shows, but the places to find them are also impossible to follow--I cannot find 50% of the command windows she has on her Mac for adjustments. Nearly all of the adjustments are impossible to follow and as a result about half of the book is quite useless for PC users. The other half teaches you methods of painting and drawing, which I suppose are useful if you have never done any drawing or painting on paper. In general, if you are a Mac user, purchase this book for the setup tutorials. If you have a PC, find a different book--which is what I am about to do!

Summary of The Photoshop and Painter Artist Tablet Book: Creative Techniques in Digital Painting
Despite its fame as an image-editing tool, Photoshop has never been about painting-that is, not until recently. With a new paint engine, however, Photoshop 7 is now about editing, compositing, effects, and painting-and award-winning artist and author Cher Threinen-Pendarvis is here to show you how you can use both Photoshop and Painter with pressure-sensitive tablets to improve your drawing skills and open your mind to new artistic possibilities. In this volume-which is as much art book as guide-the author of the Painter Wow! series steps you through a variety of real-life projects designed to improve your drawing, composition, and conceptual skills while exploring different digital tools. Along the way, you'll learn how to set up a pressure-sensitive tablet and stylus; use mark-making tools in Photoshop and Painter; create tonal, gestural, and contour drawings; and more. Best of all, in addition to helpful screen shots, you'll find beautiful, full-color, progressive views of the art being produced. Anyone who wants to use these tools to improve their drawing skills and enhance creativity will find all the instruction and inspiration they need in these pages.General Books
