more.
Below I've listed some of the books that I would recommend for anyone's
library and you can save time and money by purchasing directly from Amazon.com.

The Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby
(Editor of Photoshop User magazine) once again breaks new ground by
doing something for digital photographers that's never been done before
- it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly "how to do it." It's
not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own
settings or figure it out on your own. Instead, it shows you step by
step the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital
photographers and retouchers, and it does something that virtually no
other Photoshop book has ever done -- it tells you, flat-out, which
settings to use, when to use them, and why. |

Best-selling author Scott Kelby (who founded the National
Association of Photoshop Professionals) is well known for his
plain-English style, his humorous tone, and his unparalleled ability to
cut through all the technical jargon that other authors use when writing
about image-editing programs. |

There is no better book for the basic understanding of photography
than Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure. When you read Bryan's
words you'll feel like your talking one-on-one with this master
photographer. He'll help you understand what exposure is really all
about - beyond the f/stop and the shutter speed. The book is also
liberally illustrated with photographs that will both educate and
inspire you. |
