Excellent Clear and Comprehensive Guide - Great ValueMay 30, 2008 J. Turner 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is one of the few photoshop based books I've bought that have lived up to their promise. As another review has said, it assumes you understand the basics of using the software. It covers the basic principles of colour channels and converting into black and white, then moving on to cover various more complex alternative techniques for adjusting and perfecting results. The book is clear and thoughfully written with heaps of well chosen examples and diagrams. I found this really useful in teaching me to think about the principles behind the processes - improving my understanding of colour images and my 'thinking' in black and white. This book is well worth working through.
Great Reference, For Existing Photoshop UsersApril 21, 2006 A. Buteux(London) 28 out of 28 found this review helpful
This book is great, but make assumptions that you already know how to use Photoshop CS2. A good understanding of photography in general is going to be helpful as well.
Covers the different methods of converting images from colour to black and white and how to get different effects.
What I liked is that it doesn't hold your hand just explains the method and then it's up to you. If you prefer a book to give you lots of pre-canned ways of doing something this isn't the book for you.
