Hello Peter ! I join with Heidi for mentioning the special qualities of Martin Evening's book, "Photoshop for photographers"
Like you, I recently wished to make an approach of Photoshop, knowing that my visual and technical universe is mostly traditional photography and that I am not a computer fanatic. I took a long time for searching a "good" book which would allow a photographic oriented approach of Photoshop, without forgetting B&W images. I saw plenty of English or French written books and finally I stopped my choice on Martin Evening's book. My version is "Photoshop 6 pour les Photographes" translated in French from original Focal Press English version. At present time the Photoshop 7 translation does not exist but it is of no importance since most of the "spirit" of Photoshop is the same. The book contains a CD rom with some pictures for exercises, tutorials, plugs ins. The author is himself an English (London based) photographer so that the content is very much in correspondence with our photo preoccupations ; he studies in depth the photographic uses of Photoshop amongst them B&W, image repairing, etc... I've not yet finished to study it but I already learnt very useful features! Peter, I presume there is not a Swedish translation but maybe you may find a German version, or just stick to the English one :-) Happy pinholing to all, jean ----- Original Message ----- From: "CRABBE Heidi S" <h.s.cra...@staffs.ac.uk> To: <pinhole-discussion@p at ???????> Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 1:30 PM Subject: RE: [pinhole-discussion] off topic: photoshop tutorial book? > Hi, > > Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for Photographers: A Professional Image Editor's > Guide to the Creative Use of Photoshop for the Mac and PC ~ Martin > Evening -- (Paperback - 7 August, 2002) > > Not read it myself but other people and magazine reviews have said it's > good. > > Heidi > > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Wiklund [mailto:peter.wikl...@journalistgruppen.se] > Sent: 20 January 2003 08:56 > To: 'pinhole-discussion@p at ???????' > Subject: [pinhole-discussion] off topic: photoshop tutorial book? > > > > Sorry off topic, but since there are so many with great knowledge on the > list.... > > I want to start doing darkroom work in the computer, and want a tutorial > book with information on "photographic" ways of usiung Photoshop.
