 Awsome October 26, 2008

This is on of the best books on B/W photography that I have ever seen. I used to work as a photographer back in the bad old days when you had to load a camera with film and not a memory card. Since going digital I have not done much in respect to B/W, but this book, which is a very comprehensive technical guide, has really opened my eyes to B/W again. Most guides are referring to PhotoShop, but using Linux I have found that most every method has it equivalent in GIMP, Krita and Showfoto. I can't recommend this book enough to anyone interested in B/W photography.

This is one of the few photoshop based books I've bought that have lived up to their promise. As another review has said, it assumes you understand the basics of using the software. It covers the basic principles of colour channels and converting into black and white, then moving on to cover various more complex alternative techniques for adjusting and perfecting results. The book is clear and thoughfully written with heaps of well chosen examples and diagrams. I found this really useful in teaching me to think about the principles behind the processes - improving my understanding of colour images and my 'thinking' in black and white. This book is well worth working through.

This book is great, but make assumptions that you already know how to use Photoshop CS2. A good understanding of photography in general is going to be helpful as well.
Covers the different methods of converting images from colour to black and white and how to get different effects.
What I liked is that it doesn't hold your hand just explains the method and then it's up to you. If you prefer a book to give you lots of pre-canned ways of doing something this isn't the book for you.
