5.0 out of 5 stars Makeready: Image Correction Bible, February 15, 1998

Dan Margulis' "Makeready" is an excellent resource for anyone who works with Photoshop in a prepress situation. It is written in very understable and often humorous terms. This book has made my job much, much easier and helped me impress my employer and co-workers. A must read for any prepress people as well as designers who work with Photoshop. Also includes sections about the rise of cheap stock photos on cd and the proliferation of typography.

This review is from: Makeready: A Prepress Resource (Paperback)

I've read two books and probably a dozen magazine articles by this guy (and look for new articles every month in various computer magazines). He's the only one who seems to know how to get Photoshop running on all 8 cylinders at once. This is a good Q&A book about what to do in all types of real life situations with Photoshop, often very simple concepts that seem revolutionary compared to the twirl-filter mentality of say, Deke McClelland (whose my 2nd favorite PS authority. Sometimes that twirl filter is handy).

Help please! I'm a longtime fan of Mr. Margulis and I've been dying for over a year to get this book. Unbelievably, it is out of print!!! Is there someone out there willing to share a copy? I'd even gladly pay for photocopies!
