Book Review: Photoshop CS3 For Nature Photographers by Ellen Anon and Tim Grey
There is no doubt that to create great output you must first capture a great image. But to get the best output there is still a lot more that must be done in the darkroom; whether your darkroom is the traditional kind or the digital. According to the authors of Photoshop CS3 For Nature Photographers, if you would have looked at the original shots of one of the greatest nature photographers of the 20th century, Ansel Adams, you would have not looked twice. His images were so good because he was a master of the darkroom.
While Photoshop offers a multitude of ways to accomplish any given task, trying to figure out which is the best for a given situation is not always easy. In Photoshop CS3 For Nature Photographers the subject is nature. This narrows the scope so as to give you the best techniques for the subject.
