Description

Photoshop Elements hat sich uuml;ber die Versionen hinweg betrauml;chtlich gemausert. Von ausgefeilten Automatiken uuml;ber komplexe Korrekturfunktionen bis hin zur Verschlagwortung und den umfangreichen Suchfunktionen bietet das Programm inzwischen alles; was die digitale Bildbearbeitung sinnvoll unterstuuml;tzt. Manchmal ist es aber von der Theorie bis in die Praxis ein langer Weg. Das soll in diesem Buch ausdruuml;cklich nicht so sein; denn das Gelernte gleich in die Praxis umzusetzen; ist das ausdruuml;ckliche Ziel dieses Buches. Es ist im Grunde genauso wie beim Kochen. Hat man ein Gericht einmal zubereitet; gelingt das in der Regel immer wieder; und wenn man es ein paarmal wiederholt hat; beginnt man; kreativ zu werden. Zuerst werden ausfuuml;hrliche Erklauml;rung aller Funktionen als Grundlage und zum schnellen Nachschlagen vorgestellt. Zweitens sind jede Menge Workshops integriert; die sich ausfuuml;hrlicher mit bestimmten Funktionen beschauml;ftigen. Von da aus ist es dann auch nur noch ein kleiner Schritt die eigenen Bilder perfekt zu bearbeiten. Also; viel Vergnuuml;gen beim Einstieg in die Photoshop-Elements-Welt!

A Definitive Biography of the Man Responsible for the Building D.C.s Post-Civil War InfrastructureBy JDMOne might expect this impeccably researched and elegantly written biography of Alexander Robey Shepherd to have been perhaps the work of a scholar holding an endowed chair at an Ivy League university. Wrong. This book is the culmination of a decades-long endeavor by a retired intelligence officer with the U.S. government who is also an exceptional historian. John Richardson mined numerous archives.libraries.and conducted interviews with surviving distant relatives of "Boss Shepherd." Richardson even traveled to a remote and potentially dangerous part of rural Mexico to see first hand the remote mining town where Shepherd spent the last years of his life trying to rehabilitate his reputation. The intriguing Shepherd was a difficult target - his deeds on one hand were a matter of public record as an official in Washington responsible for "modernizing" the capital. but his motivations and intent were not always clear in an the dawning era of the Gilded Age. Richardson carefully examines Shepherds life. accomplishments.and the whiff of corruption and scandal that surrounded him in Washington. The fascinating account of Shepherd and his familys years in exile in Mexico is illuminating and suggests that perhaps Shepherd has been judged too harshly in the past.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Teddy Roosevelt like characterBy Steve LearnedAnyone who is interested in Washington. D.C.. history will enjoy this book. a scholarly yet thoroughly readable biography of Alexander Shepherd. Shepherd typifies the can-do attitude of Nineteenth Century public-spirited men. who were often devoted family men as well. Reading this book made me think of Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt would have admired Shepherds tenacity and vision of Washington. and he would have surely understood Shepherds silver mining venture in Mexico and the work and dedication he applied to it. As Richardson points out. in Washington it was man against man. In Mexico. it was man against nature. A great story. wonderfully researched and written by first time author John Richardson.
