Product Description
Rick Sammon leads us through twenty step-by-step workshops on how to edit our photographs using the most popular imaging software available.

Rick Sammon's Digital Imaging Workshops picks up where his popular Complete Guide to Digital Photography leaves off. The earlier book gave us brief glimpses of the power of digital imaging. In his new book Sammon has selected twenty of the most common and effective imaging techniques that workshop participants request. Each richly illustrated workshop in the book is accompanied by Sammon's base images on the CD-ROM so that readers can follow step by step along with Sammon using the same image as portrayed in the book. This technique leads readers to develop their own ideas very rapidly. The book opens with a tour of Adobe Photoshop Elements tools and menus. For photographers who are visual learners, the book's CD-ROM also contains short movies that readers can view on their computer showing how to manipulate the most useful tools and menu actions in Elements. 600 color illustrations; CD-ROM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch the CD, November 23, 2005

By	A. Remington "nameyou'vechosenalreadytaken" (Land of The Shining Corn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The accompanying CD that came with this book imparted more knowledge in a straight-to-the-point fashion than anything else I've tried. The price was right too. Some tutorial vdeo materials cost about twice as much. If you're a person who absorbs more by being shown something, this is for you. The pace is fast but I plan to play the CD over more than a few times for the sake of repitition. Sammon's colorful illustrations drive home certain lessons but I found myself not always agreeing with his improvements on photos...I liked the "before" pictures better. I felt my money was very well spent on this book. Most similar books are quite pricey so it does count when they disappoint. This one didn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rick Sammon Rocks!, August 14, 2008

By	Chris (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews

I love Rick's books. From beginner photographers to pros looking for tips and techniques, Rick explains Adobe Photoshop in layman's terms. Even better if you have the opportunity to go to one of his speaking engagements - he is a riot, entertaining and informative.
