Photo Retouching Restoration For Dummies or Visual Modeling with IBM Rational Software Architect and UML

Photo Retouching & Restoration For Dummies

Author: Julie Adair King

Photo Retouching & Restoration For Dummies shows readers how to take prints of old family photographs, badly shot digital images, and other hopeless cases and turn them into high quality digital images suitable for printing or posting online.

Includes coverage of scanning existing prints, correcting color problems, correcting lighting problems, hiding dust and scratches, repairing holes in the image, improving focus, enhancing images for sharing, and printing and posting your final results.

The Dummies series has been a favorite among digital imaging users thanks to its easy to follow instruction and expert advice. Dummies books on digital photography and Photoshop have combined to sell over 475,000 copies.

ABOUT THE CD-ROM

The CD-ROM of this book contains an assortment of images included in the book so readers can work through the steps with the same material presented in the text.

The CD also includes a trial of Photoshop Elements (the software primarily used in the examples) as well as catalog programs like ThumbsPlus and ACDSee, scanning software like VueScan and SilverFast, FlipAlbum photo viewing software, and other image editing trials including PaintShop Pro.

Visual Modeling with IBM Rational Software Architect and UML (DeveloperWorks Series)

Author: Terry Quatrani

"Terry's style is always direct, approachable, and pragmatic. Abstraction is hard, and visualizing abstractions is as well, but here she'll guide you in doing both using Rational Software Architect."
—From the Foreword by Grady Booch, IBM Fellow and Master UML 2.0 Visual Modeling with IBM Rational Software Architect

Using IBM Rational Software Architect, you can unify all aspects of software design and development. It allows you to exploit new modeling language technology to architect systems more effectively and develop them more productively.

Now, two of IBM's leading experts have written the definitive, start-to-finish guide to UML 2-based visual modeling with Rational Software Architect. You'll learn hands-on, using a simplified case study that's already helped thousands of professionals master analysis, design, and implementation with IBM Rational technologies.

Renowned UML expert Terry Quatrani and J2EE/SOA evangelist Jim Palistrant walk you through visualizing all facets of system architecture at every stage of the project lifecycle. Whether you're an architect, developer, or project manager, you'll discover how to leverage IBM Rational's latest innovations to optimize any project.

Coverage includes

• Making the most of model-driven development with Rational Software Architect's integrated design and development tools
• Understanding visual modeling: goals, techniques, language, and processes
• Beginning any visual modeling project: sound principles and best practices
• Capturing and documenting functional requirements with use case models
• Creating analysis models that begin to reveal your optimal system implementation
• Building design models that abstract your implementation model and source code
• Using implementation models to represent your system's physical composition, from subsystems to executables and data
• Transforming these models to actual running code

The IBM Press developerWorks® Series is a unique undertaking in which print books and the Web are mutually supportive. The publications in this series are complemented by resources on the developerWorks Web site on ibm.com. Icons throughout the book alert the reader to these valuable resources.
