Scott Ireland has done an excellent job in putting together this interactive guide to the application of Photoshop for the astrophotgrapher. He provides numerous techniques in a very understandable way, although some understanding of Photoshop beforehand is highly recommended. The photographs that he discusses in the book are also provided on a DVD so that you can not only read about the processing but you can carry it out yourself on your computer. Of all the guides that I have purchased for the application of Photoshop (eight so far), this one is my bible for astrophotgraphy. We are really fortunate that Scott took the time to put his vast experience to print. He is a superb astrophotographer and over the years I have really enjoyed attending his lectures at the Winter Star Party. Thank you, Scott!!

This book is thorough in its approach to educating you on the why's and how's of using PhotoShop for image processing. If you've always wondered how to best use PS to process your astronomical images, this book will give you the nitty-gritty details of how to do it, as well as why you should do it.

The text is split into logical chapters, so that if there are areas that you aren't interested in, you can easily skip them.

This is a GOOD book! It's not inexpensive -- but it's very comprehensive.

Willman-Bell is a great publisher of Astronomy related material.

SOooo why the heck would a moron try to sell his USED book for twice what the publisher is selling a NEW one for?

Get the book but get a NEW one.

I've owned this book now for almost a year and keep going back to it. It has taught me so much and brought my processing skills to a higher level. You can check out my images at [...] These were all done using the techniques that I learned in this book.
