Adobe Photoshop 6 Digital Dark

This book was well done with very useful imagies on digital imagining editing! Any photoshop user will find it very helpful! It lacks on imagies from the digital camerea but you can't put it all in one book : ) A great assest to all Photoshop users! A must have for sure...

Finding my way around Photoshop and Image Ready has always been a challenge. I'm not a beginner or an expert, more like a Photoshop book collector. I really liked the way the content is presented in this book.

MyMac.com BOOK BYTES review by John Nemerovski Regular readers of MyMac.com will remember Lisa Lee for reviews of her award-winning books, plus a Nemo Memo interview. She's back with an unusual book published by Prima Tech. Book Bytes welcomes this new publisher, with encouragement for their future titles. Why does a $600 application require a $50 third party book? Don't you think the software developer of a world-class product would hire the best authors on the planet to develop printed manuals and online help guides? What's wrong with this picture? I can never get enough illustrated tutorials. Book Bytes will continue to review them as often as we can. Most of these graphics-heavy texts come from two or three of the major computer book publishers. Adobe Photoshop 6 Digital Darkroom breaks new ground, and sets a high standard. FACTS: This book is big, heavy, expensive, and worth the effort. Author Lisa Lee itemizes the crucial steps in making Photoshop 6 the premier creative working tool for the next generation of talented digital photographers. Her lessons are informative and well-illustrated, and the book is designed, not merely assembled. Four major parts contain 19 chapters, assisting readers on "Taking Pictures," and learning how to manipulate them in Photoshop, through "Creating Complex Images" and publishing the results on the Internet. Lisa knows both photography and Photoshop, and incorporates them together seamlessly. The oversized pages contain instructional material, brilliant color images, detailed steps, and hundreds of helpful hints. If you utilize only a few of the author's lessons, Adobe Photoshop 6 Digital Darkroom will pay for itself. My favorite aspect of this book is Lisa's consistency. Her writing and visual styles are no-nonsense casual. She includes an ongoing visual conversation with readers, featuring a few versatile generic images given very different treatment as the book progresses. Here we have a book that is a delight to study and full of wisdom. An invasion of Photoshop 6 titles from every computer book publisher is about to commence. Hey! Two more just arrived. You can't own every one, so give Adobe Photoshop 6 Digital Darkroom serious consideration.Mac Mice Rating: 4 out of 5

I've been using Photoshop for years and I was looking for a book to bring me up to speed on the latest 6.0 stuff for digital image editing. This book covers some of the new and some of the old... like the liquify tool and plain old masks. The photos and examples are great!

I like the layout and great color. Pages lay flat on the desk. Good crisp text on quality paper; and rich in-depth content presented on bigger than usual pages. I'm a photoshop novice, and this book satisfies my craving for help with understanding and using some advanced features. Screen snapshots (in color) illustrate effects of features being discussed. Book has a nice table of contents -- four parts (19 chapters): Working with Digital Pictures, Photoshop 6 Basics, Creating Complex Images, and Publishing Pictures. There is also an adequate glossary, and rather complete index. (good for reference)The introduction states: ... designed for the casual or amateur photographer with an intermediate to advanced level of computer and graphics application experience; there is no coverage of the history brush, color theory, pre-press, or printing...This book suits me well. Most chapters are useful, and the examples are great. I love the presentation (layout).
