The raw revolution that began in 2003 with the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in for
Adobe Photoshop has changed the way photographers work with images. Shooting
in the raw format gives digital photographers complete control over every aspect
of image quality. Adobe Camera Raw makes the process of using raw files easier
by providing a standardized way of accessing and working with these uncompressed
digital negatives. Today serious photographers shoot raw images only. Real World
Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop was the first book devoted exclusively to the
topic, explaining the advantages and challenges of using Adobe Camera Raw to
produce magnificent images.
Real World Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS3 keeps pace with new directions
in digital photography and raw image processing. Jeff Schewe, a contributor
to the development of Adobe Camera Raw from its beginnings, updates Bruce Fraser’s
best-selling book with inside knowledge of how new features let photographers
optimize and convert images for the best results in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Hands-on
techniques show readers how to expose and shoot for raw image capture as well
as use new features such as Spot Healing. Readers will also learn how to use
the latest version of Adobe Bridge to manage the thousands of images—and
gigabytes of data—that result from raw shooting. Finally, Schewe discusses
how Adobe’s latest revolutionary imaging software Photoshop Lightroom adds
to the raw equation.
About the Author
Bruce Fraser, Peachpit's dear friend and colleague, passed away December 16,
2006. The principal author of the best-selling Real World series of books about
Adobe Photoshop and the definitive works Real World Color Management, Real World
Camera Raw, and his recently published Real World Image Sharpening, Bruce enlightened
end users and experts worldwide on the intricacies of color publishing and imaging
though his many lectures, product review and magazine columns. He was the expert’s
expert and collaborated with virtually every manufacturer and developer of color
imaging products from the earliest days (including Adobe Systems, Inc., Apple
Computer, Inc., Epson America, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Microsoft Corporation,
and X-Rite Inc.).
For more than 20 years Bruce wielded enormous influence in the evolution of
digital color management, and became an industry legend by teaching color and
effective means for its use in digital workflow. Since the early years, he played
an important consulting role in the development of Adobe Photoshop, including
during that programs’ earliest incarnation when it was known as BarneyScan
XP. He contributed to the introduction of the very first spectrophotometer targeting
the desktop world – the COLORTRON – a product that pointed the way
to current instruments deemed essential to successful color reproduction from
the desktop.
On December 15, the day before his passing, Bruce received the first National
Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) Lifetime Achievement Award. In
2005, Bruce was also recognized at Photoshop World when he was inducted into
the Photoshop Hall of Fame.
