Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 778.3 EAN: 9781600592102 ISBN: 1600592104 Label: Lark Books Manufacturer: Lark Books Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 192 Publication Date: October 01, 2007 Publisher: Lark Books Studio: Lark Books Editorial Review: Product Description: Digital photographers can now attain the enduring beauty of black-and-white photography in their own work! There’s more to monochrome than just discarding the color in Photoshop, but many books simply treat it as an afterthought. Not this one! John Beardsworth teaches every major method of making a color picture black and white, and explains what kind of images are best, and why. Both ambitious newcomers and advanced enthusiasts will learn how to achieve the richest tonal depth and balance, use black and white to interpret the subject for the viewer, reproduce historic and darkroom processes, add creative and special effects, and produce exhibition-quality prints.

 Rating:  - Excellent How-To Book For Creating Better B&W Digital ImagesI borrowed this book from the library along with several other 'how-to' photography books, and this was the only one that pushed me to get up and actually try some of the tricks at the computer.

First of all, there are far too many tpye-o's in the text, which is quite irritating. Secondly, and far more importantly, the author presents his photoshop methods in a less ...

Rating:  - Black & White photographyThis book can be good for beginers but otherwise disapointing if you are looking for ways to better your work. Rating: - A good dtarting pointThis book is a great starting point for learning digital B&W conversions. It starts out with a little history and terminology of the B&W world, then dives into the different ways you can achieve this effect in Photoshop CS2, then in how to use the new B&W conversion tool in CS3. It does have a small section on Lightroom as well, but since Lightroom was new at the time of printing, this section is very thin. I don't think the book is the definitive book for digital B&W, but I have found ... Read More |
