89 of 95 people found the following review helpful: More than 5 stars..., June 21, 2005 Reviewer:Darwin's Bulldog (Upstate New York) - If you are an experienced photographer, this may be the only Photoshop book you'll need. This book is expressly written for people who understand f-stops and shutter speeds, color temperature (white balance) etc. If you are an experienced photographer moving from film to digital, stop here; this is what you are looking for. There's also some guidance on digital equipment selection with details on Martin's web site. What makes this book standout? First, it's written by a photographer. Not just any photographer, but a famous, working fashion phpographer, Martin Evening. Many Photoshop books seem to be written by people who are clearly skilled enough to earn their living with Photoshop, but are not photographers. Their books are filled with pictures taken on vacation. This is the real thing; top quality photographs; real world skills. Second, this book is 100% color. Some Photoshop books have only a small selection of color photos stitched into the middle of the book; the bulk of the pictures are black and white. (OK... there is small section on converting color to B&W.) Third, top quality paper; coated stock. Of course, it weighs a ton, but then it won't turm to pulp if your model spills her wine on it <g
