Follow along with the images featured in the book, then apply the techniques to your own images, which is where the true learning will take place.
Many of the images in the book originated with Liquid Library image stock, Mark Beckelman's, and my personal images. If an image is not posted, it is because I did not have permission to post it. Though you won't have the exact same image I am using in the book, I am sure you'll be able to learn the techniques by working with similar images of your own. After all, you'll be using the techniques on your own files sooner than later.
Before downloading any images please read and understand the following:
- Image copyright remains with the original copyright holder.
- If you own a copy of the book Photoshop Masking & Compositing download as many of these tutorial files as you like. If you don't own a copy, please purchase one and then comeback to download the images - so you too can work along with the same images used in the book.
- All images posted here are for the sole use of the owners of the book Photoshop Masking & Compositing and may not be distributed for any other purposes, by any means possible.
- Images may not be commercially printed or used in public or private lecture, classroom, or presentation environments without prior written request and reply.
- In the instances, where I was not permitted to post an image, please use a similar image from your own photo or CD collection. If the image is not posted I will not be able to email it to you.
- For help downloading please read here.
I have posted the images in three formats:
- For the slower connections - as individual jpeg files (300-800k each) organized by chapter in alphabetical order.
- For the faster connections - as per chapter stuffed folders (between 3-16 Mb).
- For the person that wants them all and has a very fast internet connection - as one behemoth file (118 Mb) that contains all of the files in one folder.
PC users will need WinZip Self-Extractor and Mac users will need StuffIt Expander to decompress the chapter archives.
