Blank Slate: A Comprehensive Library of Photographic Dummies Hardcover – May 31, 2013

nice resource for project with low budget and short in timeImages are not top quality. For example wine bottle images, with wrong lighting

Totally what I expected. Very nice compilation.

Although this book has a good quantity of mockup templates, it lacks information about the sizes of each element. Therefore you are stuck trying to guesstimate whether you need to adapt your files for your mockup to look real. I would have wished t-shirts, shirts, aprons, as those are very common applications in branding design proposals.

Great source for creating product mock ups in many categories and from different angles and viewpoints. Blanks are shown from different angles and in both white backgrounds and black. The accompanying CD makes mocking up images in Photoshop a breeze. Thanks to the author and publisher for this powerful tool for the industry.

The book (and especially the accompanying disk) only contains images, "not templates" as the publisher calls them. Maybe you would like to read the cover again; "Mount your artwork on the template **using the transformation tools** as provided by Photoshop."If you need quality and time saving "templates" try websites like graphicriver and buy real "templates". This book/disc only contains ordinary flattened images.

Although it lacks of pics of t-shirts.

This would be a much stronger tool if the accompanying files were layered rather than flattened images. Most tools like this come with the layers intact. It makes no sense to me why they would've gone to all the trouble of isolating these objects only to flatten them for the end user. While it's nice to have easy access to these images, they don't save much time after that.

Photos and mockups are okay, however a very lazy attempt by the author. Half the book is dedicated to the exact same photos just on a black background. So if the author is reusing the same photos just changing the background, why didn't they include the layered PSD files where I can freely change the colour of the background. Its a cheap and lazy attempt to fluff up the book and make it seem larger with content.Also these photos are just blank mockups, far from templates which the author decides to call them. No smart objects to place your work on, or even a mask around the photographed mock up to separate it from the background.You could spend the $40 on graphicriver.net and get real mock up templates with mask and smart objects that form to the shape and lighting of the mockup.Definitely not worth the price tag.

洋書なので収録されてるｽﾃｰｼｮﾅﾘｰやｸﾞｯｽﾞ素材画像(DVD-ROM)は海外仕様のものが多いです。本自体が若干嵩張るなぁ…もう少しｺﾝﾊﾟｸﾄなら良いのに…と思いましたが内容・値段ともに満足。ﾌﾟﾚｾﾞﾝ用合成素材として重宝しています。ｼﾘｰｽﾞ化して続巻を希望します。

The book is good with the disk included. Without it, it’s just a useless book of possible mock-ups

I'm not sure if I'd recommend this product, it can be tricky adapting your logo (or whatever it may be) to fit and look realistic. That said there are some templates that with adequate Photoshop skills can look fairly cool.P.S It doesn't use smart object like some mock ups that are available online.Cheers

The book and image are a good idea, but image included on the disk are not so good. Not so sharp and many image have a lot of grain in them. But if you want to make a brand identity proposal and want to show some previews to a client. This is the perfect way. But don't use this in print or web..

Bought as gift for our Son, at his suggestion.He is very happy with the content of the product and we are pleased with the service received.
