Adobe Photoshop 5.5 for Photographers

The five chapters - (8)Image Adjustment, (9)Color Adjustments, (10)Repairing An Image, (13)Black & White Effects, (14)Coloring Effects - are of particular relevance; justifying the title of the book. Last but not least, the accompanying CDrom enhances the value of this great instruction manual. Highly recommended.

This book is not for beginners. But if you think you know Photoshop well, you'd do well to check out this book. There's advanced chapters on color adjustment, repairing an image, creating silouhettes, and more.

This is the most useful and informative Photoshop I have ever read... especially for photographers who want to understand Photoshop and how it can work for them. It has practical sections and examples on colour correction, image adjustment, black and white techniques (duotones, solarization ), selection techniques etc. I found these examples could easily be directly applied to my own work. The examples are easy to follow without being too basic. The book doesn't waste time on jazzy filters, type, effects etc, which are of little interest to photographers. If you work with digital photography in any way this book is indispensable, a great reference.

the first several chapters of this book focus on only basic theory, it may stop people who is new to photoshop and want a quick start reading rest of the book.
