Book Reviews
Coming from Adobe press you can assume that this book will be the essential Photoshop tutorial, especially with its "Classroom" title and the fact it's part of Adobes official training series. The cover features Photoshop's familiar eye graphic that's used on the supplied manual and outer packaging. The book is laid out like the manual supplied with the program so it is disappointingly dull with lots of monotone images and just a small colour section in the centre. That said, the info provide...
Eighteen lessons writen by Adobe as part of their official training series. As it's writen by the team who produce the program you can expect an insiders knowledge. The book is greyscale throughout with a small colour section up front and a CD. It looks very much like the official handbook that comes with the program but has a different structure with review questions and answers at the end. If you already own the User Guide you won't really get great value from this. If you have a trial version...
When you first look at this book you may be a little confused over how the book actually works. But if you stick with it you'll find it's a really useful tool to have on your shelf. The book's written in alphabetical order so you can easily find a particular technique or lesson. Each topic has a summary which tells you where the feature can be found, what shortcuts work and which Photoshop has that feature. There's a colour tab system which will let you thumb-through the book quickly and...
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...
Elements is a cut down version of Photoshop but no less satisfying to use and although the interface has been designed for beginners theres still plenty that needs good explanation and thats what Philip Andrews intends to do with this 246 page book. Colour throughout the book is heavily illustrated some examples are overkill but many are excellent visual aids to areas of digital imaging that are often talked about but rarely illustrated such as artefacts that occur when an image is saved as a J...

FAQs
If you prefer to resize the photo before uploading to save time uploading and adjust detail and sharpness to your own preferences your image should be 1000 pixels on the longest side.
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.

Lets be honest folks--There is No problem really, is there ? I stopped cataloging my files in Lightroom a long time ago..Why you may ask, because I don't need a catalog system.

You could always convert any RAW files which don't work with the version of ACR you have to DNG files with the Adobe DNG converter. Of course if you have LR4 then you don't have to do that unless you really like the Bridge/ACR combination.
Forum: Digital imaging
Go to the Adobe web site and search for the raw file updates. Most of the older PS do not support the newer version's of RAW cannon have installed on the newer cameras. They will have the update patch on the Adobe web site, bit tricky to find but they are on there.

Adobe Lightroom 5 beta
I'm enjoying playing with LR5 beta. So far I like the "Spot Removal" tool in brush form and the fact that if I crop in 2X3 ratio I can change the ratio without it forcing me back to the start of the crop sequence, (its only a very minor change but makes it so much more pleasant to use this function)

Photoshop Elements 10 / Nikon D7100
View NX2 (free) will convert your D7100 NEFs and you can then send 16 Bit TIFFs to Elements 10. The downside of Elements is that you cannot work in 16 Bit for layers adjustments. VNX2 is not as powerful as CNX2 - I use CNX2 exclusively without the need for Elements. DG
