Flash preview is now available at the above link. Blurb Preview shows chapter synopsis and chapter heading pages plus a few pages from within a couple of chapters. Looks really fantastic Mark. Stef is doing this degree: http://prospectus.lsbu.ac.uk/courses/course.php?UCASCode=W640 I'll wait til he gets cracking and see where it heads and what resources he leans to, but will possibly order a copy before Christmas if it looks like he'll benefit, which I'm sure he would.

This book is aimed at people completely new to Photoshop - because that's typically what we get in introductory courses (though of course we have to accommodate those who've done some Photoshop in high school too; it's a tough balancing act). It's also tilted slightly towards using Photoshop as a Graphic Design tool, rather than a photography tool. Lightroom has really supplanted Photoshop in that area. Make no mistake, there are plenty of photography tips and exercises, but not enough to make it advantageous to someone whose primary interest is photography, especially if they have experience with Photoshop.

Re: Another Blurb book...
Actually it would probably greatly benefit me. I have Photoshop but use Lightroom almost exclusively. There are things that ps does that lr can't and with such an intro I'd probably be able to figure out what else I need. It may not be ideal for me, but it would proably benefit me. I suspect that it would also help with indesign which seems to share a lot more ui with Photoshop than either do with Lightroom.

I'm going to make 2-3 extra chapters available as PDF downloads and I haven't finished writing those yet. And each chapter is going to have a dedicated web page with projects/assignments I'll be writing those and putting them on line during the semester. So, too many other high priority things on my to-do list. -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
