Image processing is used in a wide variety of applications to improve the visual appearance of images and to prepare images for measurement. Covering techniques for both tasks, this best-selling handbook presents an extensive collection of image processing tools to help readers understand methods used in packaged software and learn to program additions for applications. With over 600 new and revised illustrations, this edition expands discussions on deconvolution, extended dynamic range images, and multichannel imaging with new material on principal components analysis. It also includes a new chapter on human vision and discusses the latest technologies for image capture and printing.

If there's one thing you've learned as a wedding photographer, it's this: When it comes to weddings, real life isn't good enough. Without Photoshop to turn gray skies blue, make red eyes clear, and transform not-so-storybook events into fairytale affairs, you'd be in a heap of trouble. Here to ensure that you use your most valuable tool to full effect is a unique book-and-DVD kit that doubles your learning power. In the full-color printed handbook, you'll find complete instructions for creating unique photo layouts from scratch, while on the DVD you??™ll discover how to create reusable storybook wedding templates. Uniting both mediums is author Scott Kelby's easy-to-follow format and fun, fast narrative. Between the disc and guide, you'll will learn how to use Photoshop to correct image color, remove blemishes, change backgrounds, create sepia-toned prints, tint images and more as you discover how to employ custom layouts, create re-usable templates, and produce storybook wedding pages.

Richard Williams is a man who is largely responsible for the revival of the art of animation in the early 1970s. Williams had Disney animator Art Babbitt and Warner great Ken Harris working in his studio in London and training a new generation of animators in the techniques of good character animation, which was not taught at the time in any school or considered an art form.

Williams' long awaited book on animation technique is the logical successor to Preston Blair's CARTOON ANIMATION and it successfully updates some of the weaknesses of that book, particularly in handling dialogue animation. He covers a lot of the same ground that Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston did in their now out-of-print THE ILLUSION OF LIFE.

There is some history, but that's available in other books. What is unique about this book is that Williams writes how surprised he, an Academy Award winning animator with a successful professional studio, was to learn that he needed to learn just about everything over again from Harris and Babbitt. Fortunately for us he is now sharing these priceless lessons with the public.

The most important thing that an aspiring animator will get from this book is: that animation IS an art form, and good animation has nothing to do with whether it is done on computer or on paper. Williams exhorts his readers to 'draw whenever possible' and even though there is a computer modelled figure on the cover of the book, there is not a single piece of computer generated imagery in it. about the bare bones, about creating life in art. Animation is the twentieth century's contribution to world art and deserves to be taken very seriously.

* What the book covers: Photoshop fundamentals, getting to know the tool palette, specifying size and resolution, using and managing color, making selections, modifying and transforming selections and paths, painting and drawing with Photoshop, creating and editing type, working with layers, using channels, quick and dirty masking techniques, making corrections with filters, distorting with the liquify command, enhancing images with adjustments, fixing flaws and removing what??™s not wanted, prepping graphics for print, creating contact sheets and picture packages, prepping graphics for the Web, and more. Includes both Windows and Mac coverage.
* Updated coverage of the new version: This new edition will have approximately 20-30% new content, covering the new features and enhancements made in the latest version of Photoshop.
* Series features: Information presented in the straightforward but fun language that has defined the Dummies series for fifteen years.

This Maya modeling book is unique in its approach to modeling a high-resolution character model. Where other books take a grueling approach that often leaves readers confused, Maya 8 Character Modeling breaks down the character into an easy-to-follow formula. Readers learn that modeling a character can be accomplished without the fear of being in over their heads. In addition, the author takes a light-hearted approach to the subject matter, making the learning process easier to digest. This allows the reader to look at the modeling process as an enjoyable undertaking as opposed to dealing with the steep learning curve of other modeling books.

Partial differential equations (PDEs) and variational methods were introduced into image processing about fifteen years ago. Since then, intensive research has been carried out. The goals of this book are to present a variety of image analysis applications, the precise mathematics involved and how to discretize them.

Thus, this book is intended for two audiences. The first is the mathematical community by showing the contribution of mathematics to this domain. It is also the occasion to highlight some unsolved theoretical questions. The second is the computer vision community by presenting a clear, self-contained and global overview of the mathematics involved in image processing problems. This work will serve as a useful source of reference and inspiration for fellow researchers in Applied Mathematics and Computer Vision, as well as being a basis for advanced courses within these fields.

During the four years since the publication of the first edition, there has been substantial progress in the range of image processing applications covered by the PDE framework. The main goals of the second edition are to update the first edition by giving a coherent account of some of the recent challenging applications, and to update the existing material. In addition, this book provides the reader with the opportunity to make his own simulations with a minimal effort. To this end, programming tools are made available, which will allow the reader to implement and test easily some classical approaches.
