A Guide to Creative Filter and Effects (pdf) by Denise Ippolito, edited by Arthur Morris<\/h3>\n

My foreword pretty much says it all:<\/p>\n

“Denise Ippolito is about as creative, as hardworking, and as dedicated a photographer as you will ever come to know. And over the past fourteen months I have come to know her quite well. Her creativity is\u2014as you will come to see as you are reading her Filter Guide\u2014totally amazing. She can look at an average image, a simple snapshot, heck, even a bad photograph, and in seconds know exactly how to turn it into a piece of art using this filter or that effect. And then do just that in minutes. And most of the time she is working with the beautiful images of flowers and birds that she is so good at creating.<\/p>\n

To quote our mutual friend, Kerry Perkins, one of Denise\u2019s co-moderators on the BPN Out of the Box Forum where she has worked tirelessly helping other to improve their photography for more than two years, \u201cFirst off, I want to say that the Filter Guide is an amazing work. There is so much information and so many wonderful images that I am just blown away that you managed to get it all together in one document! Wonderful work Lady D!\u201d<\/p>\n

Denise has worked incredibly hard on \u201cA Guide to Creative Filters and Effects\u201d and at the same time, worked incredibly hard at improving her writing skills. I congratulate her here on two jobs well done.” arthur morris\/Indian Lake Estates, Florida. January 30, 2011<\/p>\n

Below is a list of the filters and effects that are detailed in the Filter Guide. Filters with the ($) symbol require a separate purchase. Most of the others are Photoshop filters and one is a free download. The Filter Guide includes links to all available free trial downloads so that you can try before you buy. Though–as above–many of the filters can be found in various versions of Photoshop, most folks–including me before I edited this guide–have no clue that they exist and no clue as to how to use them. Each detailed tutorial section is written in a clear, concise, simple, easy to follow style that can be followed even by someone opening up Photoshop for the first time<\/p>\n
