Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers: A professional image editor's guide to the creative use of Photoshop for the Mac and PC Book

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers is the third edition of Martin Evening's excellent manual, updated to include all that's new in the latest version of Adobe's flagship image-editing application. It's directed at photographers, which means you won't find chapters on how to create 3-D text effects or too much detail on creating Web graphics and animation using Image Ready.What you do get is 428 pages of authoritative, well-written advice on every aspect of digital image editing from a photographer's perspective. Subject areas, which include colour management, proofing, image and colour adjustments, retouching, repairing images montage, black and white effects and filters, are all covered comprehensively. Evening brings his own experience as a photographer to bear so that the text never strays from what's directly relevant. This approach makes it an excellent resource either for when you have a spare half-hour and want to find get to grips with colour management, or for when you need to produce a duotone in the next 10 minutes and don't know where to start.As well as an introduction covering the new features in Photoshop 6, each chapter has been thoroughly revised and brought up to date. But this doesn't mean that if you are using an earlier version of Photoshop you won't find the book useful, as a lot of what's covered is not version specific.Photographers, and anyone else who needs a thorough technical grounding in all aspects of digital photography will find everything they need to know within these pages. --Ken McMahonRead More
