 Great Photographer's Photoshop Book April 13, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is one of my favorite Photoshop CS3 books; I have quite a few. The quality of the book is excellent and I have learned so much from the lessons. The book comes with a very good DVD that makes this book an outstanding value. I have read some of the bad reviews. I think they expected a "dummies" or "beginners" type book. This is for a photographer who wants to get the most out of Adobe Photoshop. You can tell that Mr. Evening came from a photography background. Is this book a bit on the complex side? Sure. But I already know Photoshop basics and I did not want a rehash. That is why I highly recommend this book.
Comprehensive April 12, 2008

Martin Evening's guide to a better understanding of that indespensable piece of software, Photoshop CS3, is indeed very good and very comprehensive. Not many aspects of set up, adjustments, editing, or indeed any other action you take is left uncovered by this volume. As opposed to other reviewers I don't find the text lenghty or incomprehensible, but rather on the spot and easily accessible. The pedagogical way of colourcoding shortcuts for both Mac and PC makes it easy to find and use these, thus increasing your editing efficiency.
This book can be used as a sort of encyclopedia, looking up solutions for problems whenever you encouter such, or it can be read from cover to cover, which ,dull and trying it may be just because of the sheer quantity of information in there, I would recommend. It does give a nice, comprehensive, and effective overlook of Photoshop for any digital photographer.
Highly recommendable.

As a commercial photographer and Photoshop expert, Martin Evening is ideally placed to write a Photoshop book for photographers. Bruce Fraser fans will enjoy the technical insight provided by this book. Photographers will enjoy the targeted content. Anyone who wants to know how to manage, develop and print their digital negatives will find this book indispensable.

This is possible the best reference book I have ever purchased. Every thechnique is explained simply and effectivly.
I've been using photoshop for many years and considered myself somewhat of and expert but this book as oped my eyes to what is possible.
I wouldnt limit this to photographers only, it is perfect for any photoshop user.
All I can say is BUY THIS BOOK.
 Adobe Photoshop for Photographers April 2, 2008

I think the main problem with the book is due mainly to the mentionable differences between American English and true Anglo English. The book is very thorough and extremely relevant to the digital photographer. However it seems a bit verbose and I have decided the length/volume of the book could be reduced by about 20% if the explanations were simplified; the voice of the book could be greatly clarified with the editing out of too many embellishing adverbs that are greatly distracting. In spite a very good book for a seasoned digital photographer/Photoshop user and probably not a good idea for the beginner.
