A few notes about some of my books (and check out my new website, www.photodigitary.com, which complements www.robsheppardphoto.com):

My book, Outdoor Photographer Landscape and Nature Photography With Photoshop CS2, is not specifically about CS2, nor is it an encyclopedia of Photoshop tools. It is a book specifically done to help nature and landscape photographers use Photoshop better for their type of photography. It applies to CS3 and also earlier versions of Photoshop. It even applies to a large degree to Photoshop Elements. I even was able to include some work by Ansel Adams and talk about how his approach to photography affects how we use Photoshop. I have a chapter, for example, about layers that relates layers to Adams work in the darkroom.

My book, National Geographic Field Guide to Photography: Digital, is a little older and the equipment section is outdated. However, that is a small part of the book and I am very pleased with the rest of the book. It is a good, short book on digital photography.

Also, I am quite pleased with my new book, The Kodak Guide to Digital Photography. I put a lot of effort into this book to make it accessible and helpful for most photographers. It is not meant to be an advanced guide, but it is a good overview, I believe, of things photographers need to know about digital photography, and a good start for anyone who wants to photograph seriously with a digital camera.
