Instead of a hands on photography technique book; it its more of a software instruction book. One of the software programs heavily covered is PhotoAcute. In my opinion; it is a poor program and is not even supported any longer. What good is that? The book is not at all what I was looking for. Better actual multishot techniques can be found on line. For me; software is self taught not needing step by step lessons. It gets 3 stars because the images are nice and the writing is straight forward. I dont intend on keeping the book. Its useless to me for reference. It will probably get donated to the local library or senior center.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent coverage of the subject and well written and illustratedBy WinterThe author deals primarily with Photoshop but that is understandable as it is the most commonly used image editing application and most photographers own it. There are special single purpose stitching programs one can buy but I expect few photographers will want to spend the extra money and the numbers of users of these programs is too small for a book covering their use to be profitable.If you dont own Photoshop CS3/4/5/6 then there is also the option of renting the software from Adobe with their "cloud" setup; assuming you have a high speed internet connection wherever you work. If not then find someone to sell you an older version of Photoshop and attempt to activate it with Adobe (not as easy as one might think even for the original purchaser).The book requires only a novice level understanding of Photoshop and the illustrations are many and they are well done. The examples are plentiful and this is rare with this type of book. An image may be shown with the results from using 8 different settings so you can see at a glance what the adjustment does to a picture. This degree of thoroughness is extremely rare.If all you want to do is stitch two or three pictures together any of the Photoshop guides will do. But if you want to learn the full capabilities of the very expensive (arent monopolies grand) Photoshop software this book is invaluable and well worth the price.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Be Careful!By TJIt is a nice book after all; although the fact is that because of my own research as a hobbyist photographer there were lot of things in this book that Ive encountered before. Anyway; it is a very good book for beginners. I do advise reading it. The new things to me in this book were somehow below 50%; but I guess for a newbie it would be more than 50%. However; I did learn new things; like the concept of Super-resolution which was completely new to me; and other things embedded in the context. It might be an aid also for people who think of buying (or already have) macro lenses.But be careful. If your aim was to read and learn more about the camera and techniques of the camera itself; then think twice before buying this book. It is a good book; but it is heavy-loaded with software discussions more than discussions and tutorials about the camera work itself. The second and third chapters specifically were so much loaded with information that kept me lost a bit while reading; but as I work with the camera for some time now; there are lot of numbers mentioned there that I wouldnt really think of when I usually work behind the camera. Sort of things that come naturally I guess. Also; there were some points that I do find not correct; or maybe simply because the book is printed in 2008 probably and the softwares changed by then. The author; for example; mentions that Photoshop do not deal with HDR images in photomerge command (but which version of photoshop he meant is not clear in the context); while in fact I worked with this command with HDR images before. Maybe the author means CS3 specifically; while the fact is I jumped from CS2 to CS4; and I didnt try CS3 to confirm this. One last personal experiment is; I find Photomatix alignment power is superior to Photoshop CS4; while the author mentions the opposite. However; it could be he is talking about an older Photomatix version. All in all; it is good for all.It has references in the context for other books like Christian Blochs HDRI handbook; and Harald Wouml;stes Panoramic Photography book. Such references are good I believe to guide new comers to the field. These two books are great. Beside that as well; there is an extensive list of references and links at the end of the book (links; forums; books..etc). I would say this book would be a good starting point for new comers; for it grabs a stick from every valley.
