5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on Camera Raw Processing, April 6, 2008

By	The Book Collector (California) - See all my reviews

I my humble opinion, this is the best book on understanding Camera Raw processing and gaining the hands on experience in a user friendly way.
Why? The book is written in plain straight forward English, with plenty of screen shots pertaining to the application interfaces. The layout of the book is very user friendly. Unlike many other instructional books, the pictures here are large enough to easily see all the details. The book is divided logically into independent chapters regarding both the hands on process and the more in detail background information. You can focus on those chapters you are interested in, or just read the book from A to Z.
I checked and bought several books on this subject and The Complete Raw Workflow Guide is clearly the winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST Book on Camera Raw, June 9, 2009

By	M. Media Studios Inc. "M2 Media Studios, Inc." (Northern Virginia (West of DC)) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When writing "Stoppees' Guide to Photography & Light" I had a great deal of research to do for the chapter on camera raw. I would have LOVED to have this book. Philip Andrews has done an excellent job. The depth of his exploration on the topic fully deserves the name "Complete." If you're new to this and starting with Photoshop Elements, Philip has you covered. If you're a long-time Photoshop Extended user, Mr. Andrews has plenty to share with you as well. From one author to another, "There Cheers" (if not four or five)!
