A Must Have for Photographers Using Photoshop 21 Jan 2009

By Marilyn Gaizband - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

If you are a photographer, and in particular a nature photographer, who has been using Photoshop to optimize your pictures, then this book is a must have. Building on the author's previous knowledge of each version of Photoshop, it highlights the uniqueness of CS4 (and Elements). Photoshop can be a very intimidating program. However, this book is clear and concise. It discusses how to effectively and efficiently use Bridge to edit and catalog your pictures. It directs you on how best to bring your photo into CS4. It suggest a workflow that can be customized to meet your individual needs. It gives step-by-step instruction on techniques to enhance your photos supplying sample pictures to practice on. I have taken workshops with Ellen Anon and using this book is like having her in my computer room instructing me...from customizing my computer/printer settings to producing the finished product.

Excellent both as a text and a reference 21 Mar 2009

By Erwin P. Barrington - Published on Amazon.com

I enjoyed this book ... and it can be used both as a text from which to learn PS CS4 and a help reference once you get into PS CS4. The emphasis on Nature Photography is well thought out as the illustrations and text are well coordinated to show the best use of PS CS4 in this niche' area of photography. It is easy to read and that is a plus.
