(...)First. The CD contains a whole lot of Adobe liscenced demo software for Mac and PC.It would take you hours to download. I know I downloaded it. That's good value.
Second. I'm Mac based so the Director files are Mac based. Sorry about this but there is only so much room on a CD. I have PC emulation on my Mac. So no problem. My Mac can read PC stuff. Sorry it doesn't work the other way. Moan to Bill Gates.
Third.I can't include all the images from the book. They aren't my copyright. Most importantly if you are going to make images with this fabulous software, how about taking your own pictures. I thought that was the idea.

(...)The unsolicited (from me anyway) reviews from the British Journal of Photography, Hotshoe, Amateur Photgrapher in the UK, Professional Photographer in the UK, New Digital in Australia have described this book as a 'Classic' in the tradition of books about photographic techniques. The only reservation from John Tarrant was that software changes rapidly and the ramifications of that.
In all honesty I've tried to write a book that summed up nearly 30 years of darkroom practice that I've found a way of reproducing with Photoshop. It took 6 months of my life to work out how to make it readable and instuctive. I've tried to create a 'source' for image making that is not software generation specific. All the techniques work in any generation of Photoshop post Photoshop 5. This book is about pictures not computers. The photographers that allowed me to use their work only asked for a copy of the book in return for their images, as did the wonderful Jerry Hall.
The CD might not be of great use to some people, but it is after all a bonus. The content is the written bit. If you wish to complain first pay for the book, read it, try some of the ideas for yourself and if you are not happy I'll take on board what you say.
I believe I've written a useful book, with some great pictures taken by tallented photographers.
