Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 4
Review 1:
'As a "collectionner" of the best Photoshop books
on the market I must recommend this excellent book from Richard Lynch to all the digital photographers among us.Other reviewers explained
the content of the book in detail so I won't do the same,I can only agree their comments!
This book is not for beginners, but if you
want to understand how "digital photography" sees the real world and how a camera or a scanner tranlate all what you see in the digital
format then this book is for you.
Lynch is a real PRO and takes the patience to explain ALL the hidden secrets behind this tremendous
Adobe's software.
This is a cheap investment for YEARS believe me; you'll learn on your own pace the multiple facets of "seeing images"
like a photographer and by following the exercises and explanations of the 11 chapters (take your time to re-read from time to time and
practice,practice...)you NEVER take photos the same way you did before!
The greatest bonus is the companion cd with all the hidden tools(above
100 and the images used in the book).
Richard Lynch has given us an enormous homework to do but it's worth more than any training course
that costs you a hundred of bucks!
Terrific,awesome,well explained,I can't find words enough to recommend this book.'
Review 2:
'the
book is full of invaluable advice. Workflow, separations, masking... The combination of Elements 4 with the book and tools covers all
my expectations for a dedicated amateur. And yes, I like shooting raw, taking advantage of 16 bits,black and white... and I have still
much too learn from the book!'
Review 3:
'It's an advanced book that does provide you with information about hidden features, undocumented
capabilities, and things you never thought of doing with Photoshop Elements 4. As the program itself is based on Photoshop CS, there
are lots of things to reveal, and Lynch does a good job of presenting them in a clear and concise way.'
Praise for Hidden Power of PS
Elements 3:
Review 1: 'This book provides great information on digital color reproduction and alteration.The book has many good examples
for teaching techniques for digital photographic enhancement using Elements 3. The plug-ins are great! Well worth the $$ Best book I,ve
found on digital imagery and Elements 3.'
Review 2: 'I wish I could give more stars to this book....The book is written almost like
a text book. I found the lessons to be deep, but the text to be very well written and very concise. Mr. Lynch writes to teach and not
to show how much he knows (although this is quite evident by reading the book). The book is not just how to use the tools supplied in
Photoshop Elements 3, but is about obtaining a deep understanding of the makeup of an image and how to manipulate the image with the
knowledge.
Extremely impressive. At this price, it really is a gift from Richard Lynch!
