What our customer's say!

"Excellent book", Echo many of the other comments. This will be a true reference guide for a long time.

My only comments are that I wish there were more suggested 'guidelines' for the clarity and vibrance controls. Additionally, the last chapter on automation was excellent. I just wish that that sort of step-by-step explanation was done for more examples.

"A bit pricey - but worth the money.", For anyone who has got themselves to the stage where they are ready to embrace RAW and move further inside the digital system which is revolutionising photography there are certain steps which must be taken.

Naturally, you will require a digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR) and start taking those pictures - saving them using the RAW option. Allied to this, you will require a suitable computer with Adobe Photoshop CS3 installed. This book is not going to teach you how to install and the basics of CS3 - so those skills will have to be mastered before you take the next step.

That next step is this book and the only way to appreciate the content is to sit down at you PC (or laptop) and start at the first page. It's a slow process but all journeys commence with the first step.

Laid out in a manner which allows the reader (user) to build on each lesson as they progress, this book is may be turgid in places but, at least you can go back and go over any point again and again until mastered.

Quite frankly, if this was the only book on the subject you ever consulted, there would be very little missing from your overall skills once the content has been digested "and" fully understood.

"Real World ACR CS3 a usefull help to grow your skills", I really got a big step forward in my RAW convertion skills and my photos too :-)

"Real World Camera Raw Book is real gem", This is an outstanding book. That is not surprising because the authors are legendary. Jeff Schewe has continued the high standards established by the late Bruce Fraser and expanded on it.

The first half of the book offers you the basics of the technical issues and explanations of how Camera Raw works. The second half takes you through the actual process of using these controls.

Since studying this book recently, I am now using Camera Raw to perform most of the major changes I make to my files and very little subsequent work is needed in Photoshop.



"Camera Raw", Fine book .... very informative and written in a clear style.
Great for a beginner as well.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great for the photographer using Raw Format and CS3", A great book for learning more about the wealth of possibilities using the raw format in photography. Invaluable when learning more about Photoshop CS3 and photo editing.
The layout of the book is very well done and thoughtfully laid out.
The sample photos in color lend a great deal to the book.

"first rate!", Most of us have gotten used to moving an image through Adobe Camera Raw quickly and doing all the real work in Photoshop. In earlier versions, this may have been the right thing to do, but the new ACR is a much better tool than PS, and you can easily back out changes. The only sort of things you must do in PS are the localized changes, and there are all kinds of things you can do in ACR that you just can't do in PS.
Jeff Schewe and the late Bruce Fraser explain ACR's capabilities in a clear easy-to-understand way, using mostly the language of ordinary human beings rather than super geeks. If you are using ACR blind, without the techniques explained in this book, you are missing out on a lot.

"Real World is a good phrase.", This book is a real help to those of us in the amateur/enthusiast class of digital photography. I suspect the advanced to professional photographer is already working in Lightroom and CS3, thus making them a bit ahead. I say "a bit" with some seriousness, since, having worked in Lightroom for a trial period and had just begun shooting in raw format. I was unable to afford Lightroom on top of CS3, but I was sold on the value of working in raw and how much could be done with the images based upon the pleasing results I got in Lightroom.
The first half of Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS3 gets right to work with Adobe Camera Raw and provides the instructional intro to the software and what can be done working with images shot in raw. Lightroom did impress but this book helps the user to make great strides image editing and editing that only the raw format can most effectiviely provide the photographer.

The second half of the book goes into workflow beginning with Bridge CS3 but I have less need for that portion of the book and continually work with the Raw application topics. The levels and flexibility of Adobe Camera Raw 4.1+ are powerful assets in creative image editing as a stand alone or in conjunction with Photoshop CS3.

The book is written clearly and let's the reader/user work as they learn. It is money well-spent if you wish to capitalize on the creative potential of raw photography. I did not give the book the full five star rating solely because of the emphasis upon workflow beginning with Bridge in the latter half of the book.

"Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS3 ROCKS!!", Great book. Very well written, easily understood and helpful. This is definitely a must have for digital photographers processing their camera raw files! This book was recommended to me by a professional stock photographer. He was dead on target that it was packed full of important info. I have already recommended this book to several other photographers I know.

"fantastic guide to raw processing", Adobe Camera RAW (version 4 with photoshop CS3) is an amazing product, and this book is a must have when trying to get the most out of it. If you are processing RAW with CS3 do yourself a favour and get this.
