5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for traditional photographers, 6 Aug 2001
Superb resource for Photoshop owners (useless if you don't have a copy of this software). I particularly liked the section which shows you how to mimic traditional filters used in black and white photography. The book is very good at emphasising the subleties of Photoshop - the slight alterations to contrast and levels that can enhance your photography - rather than the blatant whizzy stuff that a lot of beginners go for. It also concentrates on showing you how to bring traditional darkroom practices onto your PC. Very well written and easy to use. Thoroughly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb on Photoshop (AppleMac/MSWindows equally!)., 7 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Well balanced book on every aspect of processing digital photographs (and scans).
Includes practical tips on hardware criteria (not enough on digital camera selection).
Excellent: much of emphasis on Photoshop in relationship to everything from photo enhancement over creativity to artwork (don't buy this book if not planning to use the software).
Warning: surprisingly there is nothing about photographing (such as Composition, Filtering Info, Framing, Balance, Angle of View and Perspective when Taking The Shot)
I'll find another book on that last subject, and I'm very content with the speed and depth of learning on what IS in the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for photographers and artists, 15 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Tim is clearly a thoughtful practitioner of digital photography, not just a book writer jumping on the digital bandwagon. The book is stuffed full of useful, practical tips throughout...

Some of the material in the book is mirrored in his excellent articles for Ag magazine.

Don't be misled by the simplicity of the early chapters. There is plenty for the beginner in this book but equally as a photographer with 20 year experience and 5 in digital I was impressed by the wealth of things which I learnt.

I don't agree that this is a Mac specific book. I can't recall any real bias in this direction, as the book makes an equal number of references to Windows and includes a screen shot and explanation of the NT desktop.

The book is fairly Photoshop specific, but many of its lessons could easily be adapted to other tools. (Where this isn't possible it would reflect the comprehensiveness of Photoshop and its flexibility and professional feature set when compared to the competition.)

Throughout the book the sensibility of an artist shines through in the descriptions of what otherwise could be quite dry techniques. The book left me inspired to think that perhaps I could develop my own alternative digital processes. In fact I succeeded in inventing an alternative approach to unsharp masking, armed with the new mental approach I took away from the book :-)
