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; Photoshop's 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
