This book is primarily for graphics programmers, but it's also for application programmers who need to become graphics programmers (if only for a little while). Although we didn't anticipate, in the first edition, that the book would be useful to graphics illustrators, we found that it was.

The first part of this book focuses on mastering core tools: layers, selections, masks, and colorspaces. The second part builds on the first by presenting an in-depth treatment of touchup, enhancement, compositing, rendering, and image creation for the web. The following gives a synopsis of what you will find in each chapter.

In 2000, Ari Feldman wrote a book called Designing Arcade Computer Game Graphics. Unfortunately, it was taken out of print (although copies still exist in the retail channel). Ari Feldman has been so kind to give me the right to distribute the book electronically. In this way all of you can learn about how to create graphics for your games.

This book was released in 1994, and despite a few online flames, it was enormously successful. In November of 1997, the publisher took it upon himself to declare the book "out of print" and shredded all the remaining copies. Without telling me. Thanks a lot, Keith.

2nd Edition. This is the text of the second edition, published in 1992, out of print in 1997. Much of the material was also included in the 1st edition, which was published in 1980. Updates will be made to this online edition as I get the time to do it.

Michael Abrash's classic Graphics Programming Black Book is a compilation of Michael's writings on assembly language and graphics programming (including from his "Graphics Programming" column in Dr. Dobb's Journal). Much of the focus of this book is on profiling and code testing, as well as performance optimization. It also explores much of the technology behind the Doom and Quake 3-D games, and 3-D graphics problems such as texture mapping, hidden surface removal, and the like.
