Product Description
Leery 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
- 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.

If your struggling for way to get photoshop CSx setup February 26, 2008
Eddie Tapp is a very succesfull photographer and what he offers here basically is how he setup his photoshop to work on photos. Sometimes developing an effecient workflow can be difficult, and what this book does is basically give you how his is setup. Does that mean its the best way or the only way? No but it is a way that works and even if you have your own workflow going, you might find some tips in here to help tweak it or make it more effecient. Its is not however a book to teach you photoshop from beginning to finish. it just introduces you to concepts that you will use in processing a photo.
 If you know Photoshop, don't bother... July 27, 2007

I bought this book because I thought it would help me with workflow. But that was before Lightroom was released. This book is not a good introduction to Photoshop and not so great for workflow either. The Eddie Tapp color management book is useful, but I can't say the same for this one. There are many better Photoshop books, and with Lightroom the workflow is spelled out in the software. I do not recommend.
 Excellent book for beginners and experienced users February 15, 2007

I recommend this book for anyone who does Photoshop. If you're a beginner, start with this book. It explains in detail what things are and how they work. Then, moves on to tell you how to customize just for you and how you work.
It is also a great reference book as you try new things.

The emphasis on streamlining Photoshop's many options will please photographers November 5, 2006

Eddie Tapp's PHOTOSHOP WORKFLOW SETUPS offers all the basics on how to customize Photoshop for digital photography, using its powerful features to not only manipulate photo quality, but to customize the program itself. From creating keyboard shortcuts and menus to work smarter to managing workflow with Adobe Bridge and understanding Photoshop's palettes, the emphasis on streamlining Photoshop's many options will please photographers who have seen multitudes of books on using the program, but little on how to use it more efficiently.
