Book Synopsis: Adobe Photoshop for Textile Design (for Photoshop CS6) is a tutorial that shows you how to use Adobe Photoshop to create Textile Designs. This book will enable you to accomplish all the essential tasks of textile design using Adobe Photoshop. It will guide you through step by step techniques for creating color combinations, repeats, color reduction of a tonal (watercolor) design and simple woven effects. You'll also learn how to use layers to create quick color combinations. In addition to all this, there's even a chapter on how to create and work with Spot Channels. As equally important as the book itself is the CD that's included with the book. It contains practice images that correspond to the lessons in the book. These include weaves, images to color reduce, bodies & objects to photo drape and 36 pages of color charts so that you can match colors accurately.

In his book Frederick shows you how to create repeats (square and half drop), how to color reduce a textile design (you'll learn that even a subtle watercolor design is easy to color reduce) and how to simulate woven effects. You will also learn how to create quick colorings and then how to place your designs into a fashion sketch or a photograph.
