Purchase options and add-ons

Investigates methods of working in the digital darkroom with an eye toward enhancing the quality and creativity of black-and-white images. Schaub (photographer, writer, and educator) applies conventional darkroom skills (i.e. contrast control, dodging and burning, and selective exposure) to the digital realm, showing how to craft artisan-quality prints. Step by step, he reveals techniques including toning, colorization, making high-contrast images, retouching, restoration, and special effects. Contains about 150 photographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Amazon.com Review

The Digital Darkroomtakes a conventional darkroom technician's approach to a favorite and powerful image editing tool, Adobe Photoshop. With opening discussions on the nature of film versus digital images, and how they relate to printing, this is an excellent book for photographers entering the digital realm, including new users of Photoshop with an eye for black and white printing.

The book begins with a section on setting up and configuring the computer, as well as calibrating the monitor and Photoshop. There is no CD-ROM with the book, so readers must have their own files for experimenting and learning.

Unlike most computer-centric books, this is an oversize softcover, each page a glossy print with excellent reproduction befitting a book on photography. The quality of the images and the examples is excellent, and the author writes in a clear, concise manner with easy-to-follow short tutorials that include before-and-after images.

There is something special about nudging a sheet of photographic paper in a bath of chemicals and watching the latent image emerge. A romantic notion, but there is no undo command, no history palette, and no adjustment layers. Exploring options in a darkroom is a time- and money-consuming task that often leads to wasted sheets and stained clothes. In The Digital Darkroom, the only thing missing is the smell of the chemicals. --Mike Caputo

Totally outdated

I purchased the book in 2009. Unfortunately I didn't check the print date, which was 1999. Now, imagine a book on digital technique that is TEN YEARS old. I knew there was a problem when the book discussed saving large files onto Iomega Jaz drives, which have been obsolete for a decade.

Digital books should be labeled like food, with an expiration date.

If you know very few of Photoshop,this is a good book for you.If you are an advanced user,trying to aquire new skills on BW processing,forget it. Most hints you will already know and there are even questionable techniques,(as converting from color to BW by RGB->Grayscale command,and not channel mixer manipulation or other techniques that can minimize noise channels).Did not fullfilled my expectations.

I found this book really helpful -- but not for beginers

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2000

Despite the somewhat lowest common denominator intro, this book is not for Photoshop beginners. It lacks the step by step hand holding which beginners often feel they need (and the other reviewers seem to be looking for -- there are lots of other books on Photoshop to fill that niche). Instead, this book is about looking at your black and white negatives/scans and helping you envision what you can be done with your images. Photoshop gives the black & white printer much more power and control over the image then is available in a wet darkroom but it takes more then a skills tutorial to help you reach that point. I like that The Digital Darkroom suggests what can be done rather then marching you lock step through a fixed set of procedures. Your understanding of Photoshop and the quality of your images will be rewarded by the extra work and thought that this approach requires.

All but worthless

I believe the PhotoShop manual does a much better job of explaining B&W process than this book does. This book has few details, vague descriptions, and is certainly not worth buying. In fairness, the last portion of the book gives 2 page tips that some may find useful to try.

Digital Darkroom: Worthless

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2000

I was completely disappointed in this work. It contains only a general discussion at the very most basic level. It has no techniques, no helpful illustrations, and no description relating the digital process to the chemical process. There was nothing in this book that I could use to improve my scans, to correct contrast, to pull the most out of poor negatives, or to fix problem shots.

An excellent book but not for beginners

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2001

I read some of the other reviews, mainly negative but bought this book anyway as it is one of the few books dealing with digital BW photography.
I found this book to be quite instructional. I agree that there is a lack of detailed instructions. However, I believe that training people how to use photoshop was not a goal of Mr. Schaub. One should have a good grasp of how to "fix" and manipulate photos in photoshop before using this book. A good photoshop book or class is in order before this text.
That said, I found the brief but concise directions for each technique very helpful when planning manipulation for my own BW photos. There are many examples shown with precise descriptions of what was done to achieve the noted results. Before and after photos are shown in each instance.
I give this book a big but conditional thumbs up. If your are serious about digital BW photography and have a working knowledge digital photography and photoshop in particular, this book is for you.
