This book has helped me a lot to understand the art of editing pictures.
If you are looking for a book to tell you click here and there, this is not the book for you. If you are looking to understand the concepts of editing
(software, colors, tools, digital composition), and apply this to your image editing software (I use the Gimp)this is the book.

I had my library order this book for me, because I've been too often disappointed by titles like this. After renewing it the maximum number of times, I am now purchasing my own copy. This is a book that you'll want close at hand if you are serious about improving your color management skills. And - regarding the one review that called the book "useless" - that person must have been looking for magic. There is vital basic information in this volume that you definitely need in order to do your own color correction. That information will be transferrable to programs other than PhotoShop, although not in a precise step-by-step fashion. If you don't plan on purchasing a serious photo editing package, then you don't need to worry about getting serious about color management, and you don't need this excellent book!

I purchased this book on recommendation from a teacher of a point-and-shoot digital camera class. Imagine my surprise, on receiving the book, to find that it is in reality an advanced color correction manual for Adobe Photoshop CS2.

This book would be invaluable if I intended to invest in that program. Since I do not, it was a big waste of money.

I don't feel the description here completely covered the fact that the book is practically useless if you don't own Photoshop. If you do, fine, you'll love it. If, like me, you don't, then continue browsing and pass it by.
