| Title: | Review on the Book Photoshop for Right-Brainers: The Art of Photo Manipulation by Al Ward |
| Author: | Paul Hood |

Al Ward's book offers the reader an innovative and custom made
guide in manipulating photos suited to your taste. I find this
interesting as it gives me a free hand in learning techniques
without confining me to a rigid set of rules. Much room is left
for personal discovery. I prefer this as I do not like being
confined to just a particular limitation in learning.
The book is a tutorial that explores the endless capabilities of
Photoshop and explains how one can make use of this to its
fullest potential. A good point to mention here is that the book
was designed not just to teach you how to do it but it also let
you develop your skills without compromising creativity. The
reader is made aware of the basics and picks up from there
encouraging you to create styles that are your very own. There
will be times when you’ll lose interest in discovering new
things and this will be your fountain of youth.
I say that this approach is very good considering the fact that
learning becomes more enjoyable as it provides the reader a good
motivation to improve. Understanding the features of the
software yields to a better creative expression that is very
much original.
Manuals like this have always been of great interest for me as
it not only gives instruction, it also provides a good
motivating force for me to improve myself further. I’ve always
had this affinity for instructions that does not spoon-feed
rather it pushes you to do more and find ways to develop your
craft. Learning can be tiring if the method of teaching is very
rigid. This won’t allow your creative juices to flow. I can
compare this to sand being held by a hand, hold it too tight or
too loose and it will slip. Hold it just right and it will stay.
