Originally published in France, Assembling Panoramic Photos:
A Designer's Notebook is available in English for the first
time. Part art book, part how-to guide, this stunning work
takes you right into the studio and sits you down next to
renowned digital artists as they advance step-by-step toward
their final images. The showcased pieces are inspiring and
avant-garde, and the techniques are instructive for a wide
range of amateur and professional photographers, graphic
designers, and digital artists.
The artists featured in this Designer's Notebook show how
they use Photoshop, Stitcher, PanaVue ImageAssembler, and
other specialized tools to create high-quality panoramas and
wide-angle images from a series of photos. They also show
how to create virtual reality scenes with Apple's QuickTime
VR in conjunction with leading-edge technologies that
support 360-degree one-shot photos, cubic images, and 3D
views of objects. The results are interactive, often
startling, and bear the hallmark of each artist's original
vision and skill.
Reflecting the very best of French photography, graphic
design and digital artistry, Assembling Panoramic Photos: A
Designer's Notebook offers advanced Photoshop instruction
that goes beyond opening this menu, or clicking that
palette. You receive expert aesthetic guidance, from start
to finish, with notes and views that reveal every step of
the process. This book is a goldmine for any digital artist
who wants to learn new Photoshop techniques and exploit them
for maximum effect.
At home on either your coffee table or desktop, the book
itself is dazzling in concept and design. There's nothing
else quite like this Designer's Notebook available in the
U.S.
