If you shoot raw with a DSLR, read this book if you are interested in saving many hours.

This book will save you lots and lots and lots of time in the long run as it details a good strategy for dealing with the mountains of data (pictures) that any DSLR owner will surely face. This is a must read if you shoot raw.

Make the most of your gear

If you're serious about photography, you probably already know the advantages of capturing images in your camera's RAW format. What most people don't realize is that RAW sensor data can be interpereted very differently by various applications. Of these Raw Converters, ACR is arguably the most familiar to long time photoshop users. This book goes into the theory behind every slider, button, and checkbox offered within ACR. A must-read if you are planning on using ACR and want clean images with vibrant colors.

Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2

I wouldn't dare to write a review on Bruce Fraser, being as he is incredibly knowledgable and gifted with the oustanding talent to digest dificult subjects and articulate them for the reader with a clarity , accuracy and completeness that is missing on most technical books.But for the reader that doesnt know who Mr Bruce Fraser is I will speak about my impressions after reading this book.

Very commonly nowedays technical books are written by teams of writers and are therefore lacking unity of style and more often than not, coherence.Not so with "Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2" by Bruce Fraser.It is obvious that it was written with a master plan that unifies all the chapters ,in which every new concept is introduced gently and gracefully to be later on amplified whenever relevant, for further escalations on the art of using the virgin information stored in the camera raw format.
This book aims to enable the reader to obtain the most that is possible from the binary representation of the image, in conveying his vision into a final print.
If it sounds like a lot is because it is! This is a book for those that aim at perfection. It is a tool for artists and professionals that already know all the fundamentals and are wanting to achieve mastery in digital imaging. After reading (and rereading his book)I have an after taste that is reminiscent of Ansel Adams in the sense that for both of them the real capture happens inside the brain and all that the techniques really do is to bring it out into the open for others to see.If this how you feel about about photography then Mr Fraser speaks your language and this book is for you

Changed my workflow

This book changed the way I work with my pictures. And how I use photoshop. From working mainly in photoshop, I now do almost everything in Bridge/Camera Raw, and let photoshop mainly do batch processing of finished pictures.

I also feel that I now have a much better understandment of how the raw format works, and what can be done with it.

Before I read this book, I always took pictures in the Raw + basic setting (Save both raw, and a JPEG version on the memory card), but now I only use RAW, and thus have room for more shots on my CF-card.

I would recommend this book to anyone who uses photoshop (CS 2) and take pictures in raw format.
