protect and re-use photographs, focusing on best practices for
digital photographers using Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Photoshop CS2 RAW
- Using Adobe Camera Raw, Bridge, and Photoshop to Get the Most out
of Your Digital Camera
By Mikkel Aaland
First Edition March 2006
ISBN: 0-596-00851-1
232 pages, $34.99 US
The RAW file format is the
uncompressed data file captured by a digital camera's electronic
sensor. Because RAW files remain virtually untouched by in-camera
processing, working with them brings greater flexibility and control
to the editing process-if you know how to use them. Adobe Photoshop
CS2 has emerged as the best way to edit RAW images, and Photoshop
CS2 RAW is dedicated to working with RAW in Photoshop. This
comprehensive guide explores the entire RAW process, focusing
extensively on Photoshop editing techniques targeted to
professionals and photo hobbyists alike.

Published by New Riders
ISBN: 032134250X; Published: Nov 12, 2004; Copyright 2005; Edition:
1st.
LIST PRICE: $49.99
As any design pro will tell you,
color is a complex topic--which is precisely why master trainer Ben
Willmore has devoted an entire course to it. Contained on this DVD
are more than two hours of Ben's trademark Photoshop instruction,
all focused on just one thing: using and correcting color with the
program. Over the course of the DVD, Ben covers all of Photoshop's
options for transforming colors within images (including new ones
like the Match Color command in Photoshop CS). Best of all, he
offers the logic behind those options, so that you understand not
only the choices available to you but when best to apply them. In
short order, you'll learn how to change the color of a car, match
the color of two objects, add optimal color casts to images, and
more. You'll also find a slew of tips and tricks for improving the
detail, color balance, and sharpness of your images, both on the
computer screen and in print.

Print Like a
Pro: A Digital Photographer's Guide
By Jon Canfield
Published by Peachpit Press
ISBN: 0321385543; Published: Nov 15, 2005; Copyright 2006;
Dimensions 7-3/8 X 9-1/8 ; Pages: 368; Edition: 1st.
LIST PRICE $39.99
Are you struggling to get good
prints from your images? Are your digital photos hogging your hard
drive instead of hanging out in snappy albums and archives? Looking
for ways to improve your prints beyond simple snapshots?
The popularity and convenience of digital photography has led
to more pictures being taken, but fewer being turned into beautiful
prints, framed, put in photo albums, and shared with others. The
majority of users do nothing with their images for two reasons: the
results are disappointing and the process of improving and preparing
images for print is daunting. Written by popular photographer,
columnist, and digital imaging expert Jon Canfield, this book shows
you how to easily enhance and prepare your digital images for
printing. Step-by-step instructions and tutorials coupled with
full-color images and screenshots explain how to use Photoshop CS2
or Elements for color management and correction; editing images for
printing, including properly sizing, sharpening, and converting to
monochrome; to fix lighting; and more. You'll also learn how to take
your printing to the next level by: using different print
technologies, papers, and inks; selecting Raster Image Processors;
framing and mounting their prints; self-publishing; and effectively
working with print services for the best output possible.
