Free Chapters from 'Advanced Elements'

From this page, you can download two chapters from my .pdf book, Advanced Elements.

If any of you should notice that techniques very similar to, or the same as those found in these free chapters can be found in recently published books on Elements (by various authors), please note that my book was written and copyrighted with the Library of Congress in 2002. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The free sample chapters are low resolution (unlike the CD book which is hi-res), do not include the book's Quicktime movies, and exercise files, and do not permit printing.

The first chapter is Luminosity, which shows you how manipulate the tones (lightness/darkness) in your images. It also teaches you how to make simulated duotones in Elements.
