Editorial Reviews

Review

"This authoritative title is short on verbiage and long on technique. Butler's tone is conversational yet she succinctly steers through more challenging material. There is something for everyone...Butler is to be congratulated for a businesslike manual aimed at the photographer determined to get some serious digital results." - British Journal of Photography

"Those serious about digital photography will learn a lot from calibration, colour correction, file formats and workflow to advice on shooting light, portraiture, travel and macro photography. The Digital Art Studio is particularly interesting." - What Digital Camera

"...like the best software manual that you might expect with expensive computer programs, but actually rarely receive in these days of PDF manuals...(it is) beautifully illustrated...providing the reader with exceptional plates to inspire from example with what can be achieved." - Stills Audio Motion

"This is for the advanced digital photographer. Topics include choosing JPG or RAW capture formats and choosing the correct lighting, color correcting and outputting. The book is edited by Butler, who put it together with contributions from many digital photographers." - Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, Nov. 26, 06

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, May 27, 2005
By Anonymous (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
First off, I'm an extremely amateur photographer, so I want to own up to that right away, since I realize that most of the people who buy this book are likely to be professional photographers. I'm not going to do a normal review to discuss the relevant chapter info either. The publisher's official write-up is better for that sort of thing, in my opinion. What I will say is this: I was slow to enter into the world of digital photography. I had the regular middle-range inexpensive digital camera, but whenever I went anywhere that I knew the pictures were going to really matter, I still lugged my SLR with all the great lens choices and accessories.

Last month, after reading through this book as mostly a curiosity, I took the plunge and bought a digital SLR. This book makes you truly appreciate the benefits of digital photography and the flexibility you can achieve through digital that you just can't get with your film negatives. I want to stress in advance that I am not an "advanced" digital photographer, but I still found this book to be beneficial and instrumental in bringing me around to this format. I wouldn't have wanted a basic book for this, since I would have outgrown that with the first round of pictures I took with my new camera.

Now, I'm in the process of working back through this book as I play with my new camera, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is the type of person who craves a little extra know-how when it comes to getting the most out of your work or hobby. If you are an amateur like me, don't be intimidated by the fact that this title was written for professionals who have advanced skills. When it comes to photographs, learning from the professional level is exactly what you want to do. Your pictures can't help but benefit.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good if you're into color management and 3rd party software (other than PSCS), June 21, 2005
By J. Drumheller (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is full of examples using numerous (and sometimes pricey) 3rd party software and plugins for photoshop. Color management for monitors, printing, and B&W and infrared were focuses of this book, with SEVERAL chapters on B&W alone. Ther was also a lot on printing with your own inkjet printer (most of us use 3rd party professional printing services). The last parts of the book go over making "digital art" or complete collages and pics with photoshop (not photography at all), and the last section deals with turning your photos into paintings using filters.

The description of most everything is pretty broad in nature, and when discussing sharpening (always a hot topic), the suggestion is to "Use USM and keep the pixel radius and threshold pretty low, while changing the % to get the desired effect". That's about the 1 sentence on sharpening without using some 3rd party PS plugin.

Overall, not recommended. I am still looking for a good all-in-one photography book.
