CS4 Extended

RalphAdam

I upgraded to Extended primarily for the marvelous feature that combines multiple images, eliminating extraneous elements (e.g., people walking through a scene): file>scripts>statistics>median

Extended, of course, also permits extraordinary 3-D manipulation. I have been unable to find a good book, however, that focuses on Extended's special features.

Does anyone know of (1) a good PS Extended book (OK if CS3); and/or (2) a good set of video tutorials?

thanks,

Art Scott

It could be that there wasn't much changed on the extended side so noting new has been written since CS3 EXTENDED came out......kist an assumption after searching amazon.

I am having the same problem..I haven't been able to find a book. However, there are some tutorials at http://www.photoshopsupport.com/photoshop-cs4/tutorials/photoshop-cs4-tutorials.html that I have used.

Are you a member of NAPP? If not, it is worth $100 a year.
They have plenty of tuts on CS4 in the member section...

thanks -- there is a book for CS3 Extended by Dayley, but CS4 Extended has significantly changed the extended elements--I will wait for her CS4 version, if she is working on it. I asked her publisher, Wiley, but they were less-than-helpful. I am a member of NAPP, but they have no tutorials (other than brief Corey Barker freebies) that focus on Extended -- especially the aspects of the program that although not 3D are valuable for photographers--such as the median process under "statistics," which will allow you to get rid of pedestrians or cars from scenes. Here is the name of Dayley's book:
