Adobe Photoshop is central to almost all photography workflows and Lightroom has rapidly been adopted as well. Each new version of the software is a milestone in the development of these vital imaging tools; and the 2012 releases are no exception.Photographers often feel overwhelmed when starting with Photoshop; the sheer number of tools and options make it difficult for the novice. There is no shortage of instructional books; yet very few direct the user to the most significant aspects of the program in a way that reflects a real workflow for the photographer.Adobe Certified Instructor Steve Laskevitch has leveraged his experience as a teacher and practitioner to create a guide that provides a clear and effective workflow for editing photographs in Photoshop CS6 and its companions Bridge; Camera Raw; and Lightroom 4. Focusing on the critical elements of the workflow rather than covering every arcane feature; this book is designed to get you working quickly in these applications.In addition to the essential features of these programs; Laskevitch covers new features specific to the 2012 releases; including:Lightroom geocoding-Quickly tag a photo with location data; Photoshops Blur Gallery (Tilt-Shift; Iris; and Field Blur tools)-Add selective focus and bokeh effects; New development controls in Lightroom and Camera Raw; Recomposing or retouching photos with the Content-aware Move Tool; Publishing to Blurb directly from Lightroom; Video (no longer limited to Photoshop Extended; Adaptive Wide Angle-Make straight lines straight again; Face-Aware Mask Generation-An improvement to Color Range; Intelligent Auto-Correction; Adobe Camera Raw 7-Local controls for White Balance and Noise Reduction; New Black/White and Highlight/Shadow controls

The illustrations are great! that book helped me for a speech in college. Its well structured. It s easy to understand thanks to the pictures. And above all it is rich in art because this is art. Im not Mexican; however; I found it very attractive and beyond people usually wear like this character for Halloween or for the day of dead; the creation of "La Catrina" has a real message; not matter your social class or if you are blond; dark-skinned; poor or rich...everybody is equal once dies. Totally recommended!!!!!!!!!!!! :) : ) :) ..............1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
