Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
I agree with Mark's review. I bought the Kindle version and read it over a couple of days. I found Schewe's insight into color correction with Lightroom and Photoshop very valuable. This will be my recommendation for anyone looking for something more than an introductory step-by-step, how-to book. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 9:12 AM, Mark Roberts postmas...@robertstech.com wrote: I've just finished going through my review sample of The Digital Negative: Raw Image Processing in Lightroom, Camera Raw, and Photoshop by Jeff Schewe.

Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
Thanks for the review. I dislike the use of the term Digital Negative in the sense used for this book title. The term digital negative is used today to refer to the process of using an inkjet printer and transparency material to make a large format negative for contact printing (usually with a historic or alternative process) to create a print in a traditional darkroom (from what was originally a digital image). -- 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.
Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
Thoroughly enjoyed your review, Mark. Thanks. Schewe really knows his stuff and is a good, clear writer. If I see his name on a book I know to expect good stuff.

Re: The Digital Negative . Book Review
Darren, That term has been in use for many years now, - I think since at least the first raw format images were produced by the digital cameras. The word negative lost its original negative (i.e. the one that has polarity opposite to the print) meaning, and means any source (including a file) from which you can do printing. It also has a connotation of the original file that cannot be changed (e.g. for forensic/legal purposes) and can be accepted as a legal proof (hence the DNG format - digital negative). Some words lost their original meaning and a new live in the digital world... BTW, file - is one of those words. Cheers, Igor Mon Oct 29 11:13:03 EDT 2012 Darren Addy wrote: Thanks for the review.

Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
Darren: I think his use is much more common: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Negative I know when I hear the term, I think RAW files and not the object you described.
