DP-Now have just reviewed the book “Secrets of the Digital Darkroom” from Ilex Press, which is aimed at advanced beginner and intermediate photographers looking to increase their skill set for manipulating images using a computer.

“There are plenty of the usual hints and tips concerning digital regulars like perspective correction, sharpening, colour adjustments, image extraction, panoramas, etc. But it was refreshing to see some techniques that readers migrating from a conventional darkroom will immediately relate to, including dodging and burning, lith and line images, toning, kallitypes and cyanotypes, reticulation, etc. When was the last time you thought about gum dichromates, for example?”

Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CSLuminous Landscape have reviewed a new book by Bruce Fraser which has the fairly self-explanatory title of “Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS”.

“RWCR, as I’ll call it from hereon, is a must-have for several reasons. Firstly, it describes in detail every major and minor function of Camera Raw and how it integrates into and functions with Photoshop’s File Browser. Secondly, and possibly even more importantly, RWCR explains why it does what it does. I found this to be one of the most valuable aspect of the book. Photographers who care about the quality of their work want to know why they are doing what they’re doing, because when you understand this you are better able to utilize the tools at hand for your own particular needs.”

Digital Photography HacksO’Reilly Media Press Release 26/05/04

“Digital Photography Hacks”: Transform Your Camera into a Magic Photo Machine

Sebastopol, CA—The excitement that most of us felt at owning our first camera was often tempered by the pressure to take “good” photographs. Unless money was no object or you were extraordinarily gifted, the cost and inconvenience of developing film precluded taking photos just for the heck of it. Digital cameras have changed that, offering new outlets for creativity: the ability to experiment without worrying about expense, the instant gratification of seeing your photos immediately, the technology to fine-tune your work with advanced professional techniques, and the means to share your photos instantly with anyone, anyplace in the world. With a digital camera in hand, you can easily capture the moment when baby pulls herself to standing for the first time (and subsequently discovers gravity), or memorialize that rare exhibition of fire dancing with puppets you witnessed while on vacation. And if the photo doesn’t work? Tweak it, or delete it and move on.
