If you shoot RAW buy this book - period. June 23, 2008

Reading this book has greatly enhanced my ability to process RAW quickly, easily, and with better results. If you use Photoshop and you shoot RAW, buy this book - period.

This book, along with the video from Luminous Landscape, are an asset to a photographer.
Great for the photographer using Raw Format and CS3 June 7, 2008
A great book for learning more about the wealth of possibilities using the raw format in photography. Invaluable when learning more about Photoshop CS3 and photo editing.
The layout of the book is very well done and thoughtfully laid out.
The sample photos in color lend a great deal to the book.

first rate! May 29, 2008

Most of us have gotten used to moving an image through Adobe Camera Raw quickly and doing all the real work in Photoshop. In earlier versions, this may have been the right thing to do, but the new ACR is a much better tool than PS, and you can easily back out changes. The only sort of things you must do in PS are the localized changes, and there are all kinds of things you can do in ACR that you just can't do in PS.
Jeff Schewe and the late Bruce Fraser explain ACR's capabilities in a clear easy-to-understand way, using mostly the language of ordinary human beings rather than super geeks. If you are using ACR blind, without the techniques explained in this book, you are missing out on a lot.

This book is a real help to those of us in the amateur/enthusiast class of digital photography. I suspect the advanced to professional photographer is already working in Lightroom and CS3, thus making them a bit ahead. I say "a bit" with some seriousness, since, having worked in Lightroom for a trial period and had just begun shooting in raw format. I was unable to afford Lightroom on top of CS3, but I was sold on the value of working in raw and how much could be done with the images based upon the pleasing results I got in Lightroom.
The first half of Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS3 gets right to work with Adobe Camera Raw and provides the instructional intro to the software and what can be done working with images shot in raw. Lightroom did impress but this book helps the user to make great strides image editing and editing that only the raw format can most effectiviely provide the photographer.
The second half of the book goes into workflow beginning with Bridge CS3 but I have less need for that portion of the book and continually work with the Raw application topics. The levels and flexibility of Adobe Camera Raw 4.1+ are powerful assets in creative image editing as a stand alone or in conjunction with Photoshop CS3.
The book is written clearly and let's the reader/user work as they learn. It is money well-spent if you wish to capitalize on the creative potential of raw photography. I did not give the book the full five star rating solely because of the emphasis upon workflow beginning with Bridge in the latter half of the book.
