5 Stars A Must Have for Photographers Using Photoshop
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.
4 Stars CS$ for Nature Photographers
The first edition with Grey was a truly superior product. The new one may not be that superior. Mostly, the inclusion of Photoshop Essentials does not interest me, or make the book more valuable. Perhaps it is a gamble to see if that will increase the spectrum of purchasers.
So while the first volume was head and shoulders above anything else on the market, this one is slightly disappointing.
But basically it is well written and valuable.
5 Stars Excellent both as a text and a reference
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.
5 Stars Excellent
This book is excellent and continues where cs3 left off. Ellon has a writing style that I really enjoy!
