Amazons Reviews:

Adobe Photoshop for Textile Design,

By V. Chung "Textile designer" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I'm a textile designer who had been hesitant to learn how to use the computer to design pattern since I had been painting and drawing for over 20 years. When faced with first learning Photoshop and trying to figure out how to use it to do textiles, I was overwhelmed.

Than one of my friends told me about this book . It was too good to be true. This book is so well written in plain english and explained everything, step by step. That as a beginner I was able to figure it out and learn without much trouble. I highly recommend this book, especially since you can learn at your own pace and refer back easily. I've taken classes, but you get hit with so much information at one time it's difficult to absorb so much and than remember the how to apply it.

The best digital textile design book...,

By A. "JCstudio" (NE.USA) - See all my reviews

This is THE most extraordinary professional digital textile design book I have ever read, and as a matter of fact, besides hundreds and hundreds PhotoShop books on the market today, Adobe PhotoShop for Textile Design by Frederick L. Chipkin, is the only one and only one kind.

If you are in the textile design business either new or seasoned, and if you are going to or already using PhotoShop to manipulate textile design, then, after you read just couple of chapters of this book, for instance, some subjects like "using index to reducing color and do the color-way", or "half drop repeat tricks", or "creating a plaid"... you will immediately see that Mr. Chipkin is such an expert both in the textile design and PhotoShop and he knows exactly what he is talking about. By using simple, clear, humorous and straight forward to the point language, he step by step to teach you how to achieve a great result to meet a professional need and how to solve some problem during the design process.

After I read this book and talk to some my CAD textile design friends who have been using PhotoShop to design textile for many years, some even studied in FIT for this major, I found that they did not know a lot of "tricks" which have been mentioned in Mr. Chipkin's book. I truly believe that any one who is in the field and wants to approve the CAD textile design skill, should seriously consider to have this book in his or her design studio library, and I found this book indispensable and well worth the money I spent on it.
