You can download files for the exercises in each chapter of “Digital Art Revolution, Creating Fine art with Photoshop”. They are jpegs so the files won’t take all day to download. As mentioned in the book, you will lose quality if you re-save a jpeg. Re-save the files in the Photoshop format when you begin working. (“FILE>SAVE AS>.psd).
Since “Digital Art Revolution” is all about using your own judgement and finding your own voice as an artist, I’d intended the exercises to be examples and I’d expected that the reader would select their own images to explore the tools discussed in the exercises.
However, I’ve received several requests for the files used in the exercises, so I’m providing them here.
Nonetheless, remember to use your own judgement when doing things like adjusting color and value, rather than simply typing in the numbers from the book. It’s easy to follow step-by-step instructions without learning anything or really understanding the tools. It’s my hope that these original files will be especially helpful to readers who are new to Photoshop, but I still encourage everyone to explore these techniques on their own original images once they have gained confidence.
NOTE: Some exercises in the book will not have any downloadable files because they involve drawing or painting on a blank “canvas”.
