Adobe Photoshop for Textile Design
By A1AMK15JXWNVVT on 2006-02-11
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.
I strongly recommend Mr. Chipkin's book to textile design professional

I found "Adobe PhotoShop for Textile Design," by Frederick Chipkin informative and well written. After 20 years experience as an designer and stylist, I discovered new and innovative design techniques. I was particularly impressed by Mr. Chipkin's approach to simplifying complex tasks. The book is laid out clearly and concisely, making complex tasks logical to execute and easy to master. There is a wealth of information and techniques that allow the artist to become highly proficient in design creation and processing. The book is a versatile tool; providing the expertise for both the student and the instructor. I have sampled a number of similar books over the years, and I say that I find Mr. Chipkin's book probably the best in the field. I strongly recommend Mr. Chipkin's book to textile design professional, as well as those just entering the field.
The best digital textile design book...
By A205ZMUS26OHA on 2006-05-12
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.
This book is an invaluable help

This book took me to an advanced level of textile design! It was like taking a course in textile design in college except you can actually do things when you're finished! I'm ecstatic that I found this book. I have learned many new techniques. The explanations are very clear, precise and complete! I recommend this wonderful book and I fell grateful that Mr. Chipkin generously shared his years of experience. It's a book for professionals, freelancers and an essential book for the students.
