Developing the Creative Image

An introduction to ways of making ordinary images look extraordinary



The aim of this book is to guide the reader through a series of methods which can be used to enhance images. The techniques used increase in difficulty from the simple to the more complex but none are really hard to master. The hard part is to let your right brain take over and free yourself from the analytical process of image making.



This isn't a cookery book telling the reader in great detail how to go about applying each and every technique as that is way beyond the scope of this book. Rather it illustrates the effects that can be achieved with a technique and hopefully some useful ways of implementing them. The methods used are all based on the use of Adobe Photoshop and it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the use of layers and layer masks.
