Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers-

Book Review: Okay, but Kelby's new book is better
Summary: 3 Stars

This book is pretty good, but lacking in good examples in my opinion. The techniques are fine but I thought the examples and the instructions given in Scott Kelby's book are better.
I had to choose, I think I'd buy Kelby's digital photogrpahy book (plus it's for Photoshop 7 and includes info on the new Camera Raw plugin)

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers begins with an introduction to working with digital images, providing essential information on everything from scanning devices to color management and output issues. Practical workshops show you how to master the essential techniques, such as optimizing an image for prepress, color correction, retouching techniques, layers palette management, toning a black and white image, rendering textures and so on. Each technique is described in step-by-step detail, showing exactly which command to use, whether you're working with a Mac or PC.

The accompanying free CD-ROM contains invaluable movie tutorials and a selection of images to experiment with.

Martin Evening is a professional photographer who has been working with digital images and Photoshop for many years. He works mainly in studio based beauty photography for PR and direct clients. The use of the computer has played a significant role in Martin's work, with nearly everything being retouched or manipulated in Photoshop. This is a regular everyday experience and one which has enabled him to gain an extensive, specialist knowledge of Photoshop.

Martin is an alpha and beta tester for Adobe Photoshop and has presented seminars on Photoshop techniques in both the UK and United States. He writes regularly about digital imaging for leading photographic and computer magazines and also acts as digital imaging consultant for design and photographic studios. He is a founding member of the Digital Imaging Group, London and is co-listowner of the ProDIG mailing list - a Photoshop discussion list on the web.

The author lives and works in Islington, London

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers focuses on the capabilities of Photoshop that are most useful to professional, particularly commercial, photographers. It's no cheesy production: with its crisp text and color images printed on heavyweight paper, and a companion CD-ROM with several substantial QuickTime movies, it's a beautiful way to learn.

The book is primarily a guide to using Photoshop as an effective photographer's tool. A substantial portion of the book is spent on digital image capturing, resolution, and color management. If you are at all unclear about the RGB workspace, but need to know the ins and outs of profiles, this book will definitely help. There's even a movie on the CD-ROM explaining the RGB, CMYK, and LAB spaces. Prepress proofing and outputting are also well covered.

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers also runs down each tool and its options and then presents the techniques most photographers will want to know: basic image adjustments (for example, perspective cropping and unsharp masking), color adjustments (like using variations or replacing color), repairing an image (for example, cloning or rescuing shadow details), montage techniques, black and white effects (including helpful information on duotones), cool coloring effects (like channel mixer adjustments), and about 50 pages showing what can be done with layer effects and filters.

These sections are not so much tutorials as examples that illustrate an effect or set of effects, displayed in stages using professional-level photographs. As opposed to the numbered step-by-step approach, each section in this book has several paragraphs of text, written in a conversational yet supportive and knowledgeable style, accompanied by images and screen shots with detailed captions. (You can get an idea of this by reading excerpts from the book on the author's Web site, www.evening.demon.co.uk.) You'll be able to follow along better if you've already worked in Photoshop. However, if you work professionally with digital photos, the material in here is stuff you will want to know, no matter what level of user you are.

There are a lot of creative ideas to be discovered in this book, in addition to the necessary facts about maintaining the visual integrity of your photographs as they go through the digital process. --Angelynn Grant
