Book Reviews of The Complete Raw Workflow Guide: How to get the most from your raw images in Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, Photoshop, and Elements

Book Review: Great book.
Summary: 5 Stars

I am an amateur photographer and have been shooting in raw for over a year now. I think this has to be the best book on Camera Raw I have seen to date. The author not only discusses the actual application of Camera Raw, but also talks about setting up your workflow, camera(not brand specific), and how to take better pictures while set up to shoot raw. The chapters are in-depth and full of useful information you would actually use on a regular basis. He also touches on some often overlooked aspects such as the best way to download your raw images, organize them and protect them. No book on Camera Raw would be complete without a chapter on Lightroom, but it's not overdone and keeps the focus on Camera Raw. Another nice feature of this book is the addition of a chapter for editing pictures in Photoshop including photo restoration. Overall, I would highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to take their photography to a new level via post processing.
