- A must for former darkroom photographers.
(Rating: 5 of 5) |
Darkroom photographers learn to analyze a photo. This book takes the analyses you have perfected over the years and tells you how to use Photoshop 7 to perfect your images. The step by step approach focuses on the process, not the myriad of possibilities with every Photoshop tool. From the first image you work with using this book, you will quickly get results, and begin to build your knowledge of Photoshop.The book sits beside my monitor, and is used several times a week. Wish my kids came with instructions like this...

- Good info for amateur photographers and hobbyists
(Rating: 3 of 5) |
This book has some good information in it that would be beneficial to Professional photographers, but most of the techniques are aimed at amateurs and graphic designers, not professional photographers. I'm a professional retoucher and digtal imagin expert, and would not say it's on my "must have list". That list would start with Martin Evening's Photoshop for Professional Photographers, and also include the Real World Photoshop and Real World Color Management books.
