Book Reviews
Printing with Photoshop does exactly what it says on the tin. It teaches you how to create better print-outs with the help of Adobe Photoshop CS4. The book is split into easy-to-read chapters that cover everything from shooting essentials and file processing, to colour management and printing advice. Everything is explained clearly and the advice given is extremely useful and easily absorbed. Colourful images are both nice to look at and useful for emphasising points made in the text, t...
Image specialist expert, Richard Lynch, shows us how to successfully use Layers in Photoshop. Simple, step-by-step instructions illustrate how to correct, enhance, fix and manipulate your images using layers. The language is easy to understand, the text is easy to follow and the images illustrate the book well. The accompanying CD also gives you the chance to work through the lessons taught in the book at ease and with practical images. If you're a beginner looking for advice or a...
If you already work with Elements and you want to further your knowledge then this is a really good guide to have. The book has several projects where the author explains how they are achieved in detail so you can do it yourself. The text is written in a very clear and concise way and the images used are appropriate, large and clear. If you need more than the book offers you can turn your attention to the DVD that accompanies the book. The DVD offers detailed explanations and video tuto...
The book takes a detailed and very close look at Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. The 446 pages are split into fifteen chapters all of which are written in great detail and are well illustrated. The layout is a little cramped but with the quantity of information you are given it's something you can easily cope with. The book isn't linear and you can easily flick to a chapter you wish to study and work at your own pace. The book is a great reference tool and will fit perfectly on the prof...
This book shows you how to create photomontages and is written by two excellent authors who clearly understand their chosen subject well. The book is split into 12 sections which are then divided into individual tutorials. The layout is great. Each tutorial is presented on a double page which makes them easy to follow and also leaves space for larger images, something which some people find easier to learn from. There's even interludes at the end of each chapter covering various topics of...

Adobe Photoshop Touch For iPad 2

FAQs
Your image MUST be no longer than 600 pixels on the longest side (1000 pixels for e2 members).
The image MUST be in JPEG format - this means it must be saved with .jpg extension
at the end.
The image must be RGB, not CMYK.
Note that if you use Adobe RGB (1998) colour space rather than sRGB it will result in a loss in density and contrast.
Here's the easiest way to do it in Photoshop (PS) (7, CS & Elements):
In your application go to Image - Image size (PS)/ This will bring up a box
showing some dodgy numbers (Screenshot 1 - PS Version as I don't have Elements!)
Screenshot 1
1 = Pixel Dimensions
2 = Resolution
The first thing to do in this box is to change the resolution. Mine at the
moment says "600" pixels/inch (aka ppi/dpi). For viewing on the web,
72 dpi is plenty. DON'T CLICK OK!!!! When you change the resolution, you will
notice that the Pixel Dimensions have changed too. These may have changed to
less than 600 pixels. You can now change the highest number to 600 pixels (on
a landscape for example, this will be the width). The other number will look
after itself (Screenshot 2)
Screenshot 2
Now you can click ok! Your image will get much smaller on the screen.
With the zoom tool selected right click on the image and select "Actual
Size". This will bring the image back to a viewable size.
If you want to apply any sharpening (lots of people do, I don't!) you
should do it now.
Here's the "tricky" bit: Go to "File - Save For Web".
There'll be a new screen popup titled "Save for Web, Powered by Image
Ready" (or similar).
The bit on the right is what you are interested in. Ignore all the boxes
for a moment. Beside Preset theres a circle with a triangle in it. Press
it. This will bring up "Optimize to File Size":
Screenshot 3
Screenshot 4
Where you see "Desired File Size", set that to 100 or below (I normally
use 99 just to be on the safe side), and then hit OK. That will disappear and
bring you back to the Save for web dialogue.
Hit the Save button, choose a place to save and Robert is your father's brother!
If this doesn't help we have a technique here which tells you how to resize your photos in several other applications.

Forum: Photographic discussion
I am sure that you apreciate that this is a technique that was originally a darkroom technique and used for a number of reasons. Apart from local contrast adjustments, it is commonly used (particularly by B&W photographers) to create a lighter path to draw the eye to the main point of the picture. This may also be achieved by darkening other areas or both. You do need to understand what you are...

RGB/sRGB???
Use JPEGs rather than GIFs, Judith, because JPEGs support 8-bit depth for each of the RGB colour channels (256 colours per channel), whereas GIFs use indexed colour (8-bit/256 colours overall). The former is better for complex images such as photographs. JPEG: 256 x 256 x 256 = 16.7m colours (or thereabouts) GIF: 8-bit (256 colours only)

Best PC for photoshop/Lightroom??
I can't do my editing on the Mac due to the terrible reflections. Even if I turn all the light in the room the light from the screen lights me and the desk up which is then reflected in the glossy monitor. Why do they make them with such glossy monitors when it spoils photo editing. I notice a girl in another thread is hoping the new ones will have matte screens so she can replace her glossy one.
