Professional Photoshop: Color Correction, Retouching, ... (ISBN 0471018732)

Not for those workinh in RGB:
I purchased this book based on the online reccomendations of others. I was shocked to learn that the entire focus of the book is on CMYK color and not RGB! (I only work in RGB as do many others.) This was rather misleading to say the least. I urge those of you who DO work in RGB to pass on this book. It is strictly designed for CMYK. Howard

The Photoshop Book That Revolutionized My Career:
This book completely changed what I do with Photoshop. Now I can make people look 90% better in 10% of the time. I can increase contrast without blurring the colors. I can make printed stuff turn out consistently. Wait'll you see what he says about all this fancy calibration hardware (you don't need it. He proves it). After I read this book in 1995 I started looking for anything by Margulis. I'd do anything to get a copy of that type book he wrote a few years back--already asked Amazon.com to find it for me. I'm waiting with abated breath for Professional Photoshop 5.

Great book on CMYK corrections:
Though it competes in some ways with my book (Adobe Photoshop 5 How-To, ISBN 1571691561), I think there is a healthy difference of opinion and technique in this book. Certainly a valuable tool in learning to use Photoshop tools and image theory. One of the few I recommend.

One of the top 5 books on color correction and image editing:
Dan has an easy style that is very readable.Not for the novice but a must for anyone serious about color correcting.I didn't like having to flip back and forth to see examples on different pages.Some of his explainations would have been easier to follow if the examples were adjacent to the text. I didn't find that it was written at the time Photoshop 3 was out any impediment. Photoshop 5 is out now and it is just aas germain. I also read his other book Makeready which was just as good and not a rehash. I went to his course in Atlants and it was great. I understand he is working on a new book now and I'll be first in line to get it.

Takes the mystery out of pre-press and color correction:
Professional Photoshop 5 is out now. Where is it Amazon? If you have not worked extensively in color correction you will need to read this a couple of times to use all the techniques involed, but, you will understand it all. It helps alot if you know Photoshop well.
