Wedding Photography with Adobe Photoshop

Rating:
Summary: Well, maybe 3 1/2
Review: Truthfully, not one of my favorite wedding books. It really could read.. "Introduction to Adobe Photoshop from the perspective of a wedding photographer". But it was good enough to entertain me for an afternoon and that may be worth the price of admission! The photoshop info is mostly basic (how to remove a blemish, using curves etc.) but some of it is a little more advanced (reasons behind choosing one black & white conversion method over another.. etc.) Doesn't get real in-depth. Each subject is quickly covered in a couple of pages. The concepts are illustrated well and easy to follow but it seemed to me like there should be more. A little different twist with a section on shooting competition photos and using your photos in your own marketing material. But again, pretty brief and pretty basic. And if you really were going for the Photoshop introduction...I would probably spend my money for a serious Photoshop book first (Scott Kelby is awsome!) But that's just me... if you'd like a light dose to get you motivated with some pretty pictures boot... happy reading!
