Book Description

May 6, 2008 A Lark Photography Book
Digital photography has changed the visual world, bringing an onslaught of new tools, techniques, and technology—a daunting challenge for photographers trying to keep up with the latest innovations. Fortunately, that task has just gotten a little easier. RAW Pipeline is the solution to mastering the biggest, most important innovation in digital photography: the RAW image file. It explains exactly what a RAW file is, and how to process and efficiently control it. Discover new ways to “think RAW” while shooting and new methods for effectively handling RAW’s time-demanding processing requirements in the computer. Learn how to harness the power of Photoshop’s layers and masks—and then break the boundaries of image control by combining these with Adobe’s ingenious Smart Object technology. Finally, you’ll see how to navigate the RAW workflow process—with the end result being a fine-art quality print. RAW Pipeline will truly revolutionize how you work on your images in Photoshop.

I have three of Ted Dillard's "Pipeline" books: RAW, Smart Object, and B&W. I have only finished the first read-through on B&W, but that is because that is my current interest.

There is a lot of redundancy in the three books, but there is a valid reason for it: Dillard is helping you create a process, a methodology. And he is very excited about Smart Objects. His argument for them, in all three books, is the amount of time and effort they save you and the creativity they allow you. This is especially true when coupled with RAW - then you can do much of your adjustment layer work in the RAW editor instead of on Adjustment Layers. A great OOPS convenience.

I can't recommend one over the others - it depends on your current interest; but since all three talk about Smart Objects and the RAW editor, any one you choose will be a valuable resource.

If you opt for more than one, as I did, you will have a great mini-library, just be aware of the redundancy.

I have recommended Ted Dillard books to my brother, another post-processing amateur.

This is a serious book for serious photographers. That said, nobody does a better job of breaking down and standardizing digital workflow than Ted Dillard. The guy is a freaking guru. The material is hard core, but the presentation is simple and direct. The methods described in this book have become the foundation of my professional studio.

Ted Dillard has produced a book that weaves together good practices for shooting, managing, editing and printing digital photos. Anyone interested in getting the best possible results from a good digital camera should read it.

Dillard lays out an organized and straightforward workflow, and he explains the value of each step he takes. Dillard set up the workflow for commercial photography. Since professional photographers can't afford to waste time or lose images, it's both quick and bomb-proof.

I recommend it to anyone who shrinks from shooting RAW. It explains the advantages, and shows how straightforward RAW can be. I've been shooting RAW for a good while and use adjustment layers, masks and smart objects, I still found it useful to read Dillard's overview of how the technologies support each other to produce great results.

In the end, that's what I like best about the book: Dillard's priority is the photo. He's enthusiastic about technology, but only because it serves photography. He illustrates RAW Pipeline with his own photos, and it's clear that he's a photographer first and last.
