Weary of 800-page books that try to teach you everything about
digital photography? You should be. Rather than delve into the
nuances of efficient workflow, color management, or creating
spectacular enhancements, these doorstop volumes tend to gloss over
key information in an attempt to cover everything. Our new book
series, "Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography", is different. An
award-winning photographer, Eddie is acknowledged as one of the
premier trainers of digital imaging in the world, a highly
sought-after expert who educates many corporations, studios and
agencies. In this series, he brings his teaching experience to bear
on technical issues in six focused and affordable books on digital
photography that offer one topic per volume with answers that are
quick to find when you need them most. The first book, "Photoshop
Workflow Setups: Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography", offers a
step-by-step approach for configuring key areas of Adobe Photoshop
CS2 to create an efficient, visually uncluttered workspace.
Photoshop has so many different work areas and tools that it can
become confusing or even intimidating for digital photographers to
use in a production environment-whether you're a serious amateur or
a working professional. This highly-visual, well-designed book
presents Photoshop's vast collection of menus, palettes, and tools,
showing you not only how they work, but how they should work for
you and your specific needs. With his easygoing and authoritative
style, Eddie demonstrates how to: create an efficient workspace by
using the "arrange" menu and setting the screen view; become
familiar with palettes for layers, channels and paths, history and
actions, color, swatches and styles, and more; set preferences for
file handling, guides and grids, memory and image cache, and more;
customize keyboard shortcuts and menus; work with Adobe Bridge; and
use Photoshop's selection, painting, graphics, and vector tools,
among others. In addition to this title, "Eddie Tapp on Digital
Photography" will also focus on color management; advanced and
professional production techniques; controlling digital color and
tone; and creative enhancement techniques. We're thrilled that
Eddie Tapp has finally agreed to publish books - and with O'Reilly.
