Adobe PhotoShop is the foremost design tool on the market today. Just about any CAD technique that can be achieved for textile design can be executed better and more efficiently by using Adobe PhotoShop. This book was written to give textile and fashion designers the necessary CAD tools to function in the textile and fashion industries today by using this incredible tool.

   This book was created as a textile design tutorial. It will show you step by step techniques for creating color combinations, color reduction, repeats, tonal (watercolor) designs and simple woven effects for textile design using Adobe Photoshop. With the book we are including a CD ROM with Color charts and practice images.

   Everything in this book is explained in a simple uniform manner so that nothing is overwhelming to the beginner and so that the more advanced PhotoShop user can grasp key concepts more quickly.
