Photoshop CS3 for Nature Photographers: A Workshop in a Book (Paperback)

Description:

Photoshop CS3 for Nature Photographers: A Workshop in a Book is the only Photoshop manual written by a full-time professional nature photographer. It features a real-world approach that simulates the rich workshop experience, teaching nature photographers practical Photoshop skills that will solve their most common problems.

Written cover-to-cover to fit the unique needs of nature photographers, this practical book addresses the tools, techniques, and workflow ideally suited for natural subjects. You'll figure out how to plan for overlapping landscape exposures, sharpen animal eyes, edit sky and land separately, and repair image elements as delicate as butterfly wings. You'll discover effective shooting tips. And above all, you'll learn what it takes to become a master in the digital darkroom using Photoshop.

Master photographer Ellen Anon and digital imaging expert Tim Grey show you how to "flex" your workflow to fit your individual photographic goals and preferences. Photoshop veterans will see how to adopt such new functions as the Black and White adjustment layer and the Refine Edge tool into their existing workflows. And every Photoshop user will gain new insight into Curves.

The book includes valuable tips from some of the most esteemed nature photographers working today, including John Shaw, Michael Reichmann, Arthur Morris, Darrel Gulin, Charles Glatzer, and Joe McDonald. And the instruction throughout the book is lavishly illustrated with the work of these and many more exceptional photographers. The companion CD includes more than 60 minutes of video training, focusing on new features in CS3 and drawn from Ellen Anon's years of seminar teaching experience.
