When Pancakes Go Bad: Optical Delusions with Photoshop

Author: Avi Muchnick

If you've ever found yourself looking at funny images and thinking "Hey, how'd they do that?", this is the book that will give you the answer! You'll learn how to have fun with photos, such as taking still images and making the characters in them invisible while leaving the clothes untouched and combining images of animals to produce unrealistic characters. With the growing use of digital cameras, this kind of photographic humor is growing in popularity among average digital camera users who like cartoon collections as well as those looking to learn Adobe Photoshop. While taking a humorous approach, "When Pancakes Go Bad" is also very educational. The end-of-chapter tutorials are tongue-in-cheek, yet contain useful, easy-to-understand information. Organized into chapters by the general theme of the images, this book is packed with fun and interesting photos that will keep you entertained until the end.
