More About the Author

With nearly 1.5 million books in print, David D. Busch is the world's #1 selling author of camera-specific guidebooks, and the originator of popular series like David Busch's Pro Secrets, David Busch's Compact Field Guides, David Busch's Guides to Digital SLR Photography, and David Busch's Quick Snap Guides.

Most of his hugely successful books for Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, and Panasonic digital cameras are the top-selling guidebooks for their respective camera models. His advice has been featured on NPR's "All Tech Considered."

Busch's dozens of other books devoted to digital photography include David Busch's Digital Infrared Pro Secrets and Mastering Digital SLR Photography. As a roving photojournalist for more than 20 years, he has illustrated his books, magazine articles, and newspaper reports with award-winning images. Busch has operated his own commercial studio, suffocated in formal dress while shooting weddings-for-hire, and shot sports for a daily newspaper and upstate New York college. His photographs and articles have been published in magazines as diverse as PhotoGraphic, Popular Photography & Imaging, The Rangefinder, The Professional Photographer, and hundreds of other publications. He's also reviewed digital cameras for CNet Networks and Computer Shopper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed! Photoshop and photography!, November 28, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Photoshop 7: Photographers' Guide (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
I love this book! The two great loves of my life are Photoshop and photography (not necessarily in that order), and now I'm adding this book to my list. It's the first book on Photoshop that I've seen that doesn't insult the intelligence of photographers. The author really seems to know and understand our needs and viewpoints. The book showed me how to duplicate many of my favorite photographic effects in Photoshop.

I really liked the sections on retouching and compositing. I wished they were longer. Lots of my photos have...er...problems and I spend a lot of time in Photoshop trying to fix them. I found some interesting techniques for repairing pictures that were less than perfect, and a few really good ideas for combining several so-so photos into one really great picture.

The color is great. I'm getting tired of picking up Photoshop books and finding only an 8 or 16 page "gallery" section with a few color pictures. I want color on every page! It's a *color* image editor, isn't it? Thank you for this great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my favorite Photoshop book!, December 12, 2002
By 
Kyle Aguilara (Wilmington, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photoshop 7: Photographers' Guide (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
I must have purchased 20 different Photoshop books through the years, starting with Photoshop 5.5, but this one is my absolute favorite! I originally was attracted to it because it claimed to appeal to photographers. I was skeptical, but it sure enough was full of the kind of details that serious photographers look for when editing images. However, it turned out to be a darned good Photoshop book, too. I can recommend it highly.

It helps if you know something about photography and Photoshop before you begin, as this is not aimed at the absolute neophyte. But if you know how to use Photoshop's basic tools (or even just know where they are) and can find the shutter release button on your camera, this book will help you improve your skills in both image editing and photography.

The CD-ROM was a welcome addition for a change. This one included all the pictures in the book, plus the files the author used to produce his amazing effects. I worked through all the examples, but the techniques I learned gave me the push I needed to go out and shoot some photos of my own so I could play with them, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars More! More! More! Great book!, December 27, 2002
This review is from: Photoshop 7: Photographers' Guide (Miscellaneous) (Paperback)
I received this book ... and the only thing wrong with it is I can't get enough of these great ideas. I admit there are enough cool techniques in this book than you'd find in books that are twice as long. It's all meat, and full of stunning effects. I've managed to skim through it and try out five or six of the projects, and I just know that when I'm finished I'm going to be looking for more books like this one.

I'm not much of a photographer, but I still found the "photographer's viewpoint" angle fascinating. The author's description of both conventional photographic techniques and ways to get the same look with Photoshop made me want to go fire up my point-and-shoot camera, or maybe seriously consider that digital camera I've been looking at. After reading this book, I know I can do better.

The parts dealing with Photoshop are really good, too. I've always found Photoshop fairly confusing, but I guess I know enough to handle the step by step instructions in this book. At least, the photos I edited looked a lot better than when I started.

It will take me a few weeks (or months) to exhaust all the tricks I found in this book. By then, I'm hoping the author will have PHOTOSHOP 7 Photographers Guide PART TWO ready for me. Thanks!
