| This tutorial takes photographers beyond the quick tips and
gimmicky effects of many digital photography books. Author
Katrin Eismann -- an internationally acclaimed artist,
bestselling author, and gifted educator -- offers
high-profile work, including her own, as examples for
teaching photographers how to use the digital medium to
create, edit, and output images that reflect their true
vision.
Co-authored by photographer and teacher Sean Duggan, The
Creative Digital Darkroom translates skills, concepts, and
nomenclature of the traditional darkroom into digital
solutions for photographers who sense that, despite the
newness of the technologies at hand, there remains a
timeless method for learning and practicing photography the
right way. This is not a Photoshop book per se, but it does
focus on the photographic aspects of Photoshop, something
other books claim to do but rarely have the discipline to
accomplish. The Creative Digital Darkroom includes:
Four sections that cover the black & white darkroom, the
color darkroom, creative techniques, and production
essentials
Chapters that begin with a thorough foundation followed by
numerous tutorial examples that apply the theory to
real-world examples
Examples and a layout that enables readers to find,
understand, and apply the featured techniques quickly and
easily
The authors are both renowned photographers and Photoshop
experts
Clearly, The Creative Digital Darkroom is not your typical
digital photography "how to" book. It's ideal for
intermediate and advanced photographers, artists, and
educators looking for clear, concise, insightful, and
inspiring information and techniques on how to make their
photographs shine. The language, and techniques will
immediately appeal to serious students and professionals,
and the original tutorial images and high-profile work will
make the book an important visual resource for educators and
art appreciators.
