I’ve spent the past few years perfecting my processes with Photoshop — which can be a very intimidating software program. The last few versions offered even more capability to master — the File Browser, the new Bridge program, and Camera Raw, now in its third or fourth version. This book gives me the opportunity to share that knowledge with photographers who shoot in raw format and want to get up to speed with these new Photoshop capabilities.
I’ve selected the content of this book based on what’s most important to us as photographers. The chapters are also organized in a manner in which we use parts of Photoshop according to order, or in an overall workflow. Some of these topics include
The importance of and implementing color management.
The importance of and implementing workflows.
Using Bridge and managing digital images.

Using Camera Raw.
Making overall color and tonal corrections in Photoshop.
Making edits in Photoshop.
Mastering the skills in these areas of Photoshop and digital photography will help you organize and streamline your digital photography processes, making digital photography even more fun and gratifying.
