Photoshop in all it's guises is in my humble opinion one of the top, if not the top application of all time.However it is a vast and initially daunting programme with many in depth areas.Adobe work hard in making Photoshop accessible and enjoyable to use, but, and this is a "big" but,the programme demands that an individual must make a very real commitment to learning how to use Photoshop if they wish to progress and achieve professional results. If you are a photographer of any standared from beginer to Agency or International Press Professional then this Martin Evening title should be top of your to buy list.As I mention earlier I have many Photoshop books and the vast majority are very good but trust me this title is a "cut" above the rest.It is clear,concise extremely well presented and above all a real pleasure to read.If you are in any way serious about getting the maximumn benefit as a photographer from the latest incarnation of Photoshop CS2 buy it!

A little lacking in day to day practical applications nevertheless with some thought there is sufficient information to resolve most issues/problems. The accompanying CD is very useful and even if you have been using Photoshop for a number of years there are some new techniques. A book all Photoshop users should have in their library.

If you're serious about digital photography at any level and want the very best from your images, this is certainly a book to have in your library. Martin Evening has used his expertise in both photographic technique and Photoshop to produce a reference which is highly informative and easy to follow. This weighty tome explains in superb detail how to employ Photoshop to fix, enhance, manipulate and output your finished images. The content is split into logically linked chapters. Beginning with a run-down of the program's new features, it goes on to show the steps to streamline your workflow - everything from configuring Photoshop's workspace, choosing the right computer for your needs and even how to get the best from your studio space. It continues with the basics of image editing and on to more complex topics including repair, montage, special effects, preparation for print - both for home and industry - and publishing on the web. There are numerous examples and projects; many of which have video tutorials on the CD to accompany the text and illustrations. There is a definitive section on colour management, an essential subject to grasp to ensure your images look as good on the page as they do on the screen. There are also very useful explanations of image resolution and organising and cataloguing your files. A highly recommended book. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
