Personal Review: Photoshop for Video, Third Edition (DV Expert
Series) by Richard Harrington
As an "old school" Avid editor from big post houses, Photoshop was used
for simple titles and the rest went to the graphics department or our hands
were slapped.
The book only goes through the usefulness and purpose of nearly all
Photoshop tools and their relevancy to video. It has tutorials showing all

common video uses from cutting out photos, lower thirds, backgrounds,
creating elements for motion graphics programs like After Effects, uses of
masks and alpha channels and the many ways you can create them
depending on circumstance and content. In addition, the book points out
some of the differences with different versions of Photoshop so you can
work through aspects even if you haven't updated to CS3 yet.
The accompanying DVD not only includes all the elements needed to
complete each task, there's also supplemental "Podcasts" in which Richard
Harrington actually SHOWS you how to do many of the key aspects of
each tutorial.
This is a must have book for video editors who must now do it all since
Photoshop is the Swiss Army Knife of video graphics.
