Working with Edges in Photoshop With George DeWolfe
The human visual system creates depth and form using different kinds of edges.

DeWolfe shows how to set up for working locally with edge controls and their proper use to create depth, form, and other effects. The effects created by using this technique parallel the way a painter creates depth in a painting and much of DeWolfe's influence comes from James Bama, the world renowned illustrator, and other great master painters. The change in the image is dramatic - and it's all in the edges.
