Featured Book
Outdoor Photographer Landscape and Nature Photography with Photoshop
CS2
My current
featured book is
Outdoor Photographer Landscape and Nature Photography with Photoshop
CS2 by Rob Sheppard. It is squarely aimed at the nature or
landscape audience and takes a step-by-step approach to bringing out
the best in your image.
Hot New Program
and Plug-in
In Photoshop 6 and 7, I was a plug-in
freak, buying everything that came out.. I now use just a few tools, PhotoKit Sharpener, Neat Image,
and occasionally one of the Nik Color Efex Filters. I have now added a new one called Photomatix
Pro. Here's my
review
of this fine product.
The program does three things and does them
very well: It produces a single HDR image from multiple exposures.
It blends two or more photos better than any technique I've found.
It produces a tone-mapped image that translates
the HDR into virtually a finished product. The tone map process is
also available as a Photoshop CS2 plug-in. Both are developed by
MultimediaPhoto SARL.

Kent's Archive—UPDATED
UPDATE: Kent Christiansen's
popular list of helpful tips and tutorials is newly updated in this
archive that
contains 17 MS Word files, covering the gamut of retouching subjects.
Important
notice to those who loaded our Beta on-line help program: The
system works, as you saw. But we have decided to change the
architecture to simplify installation on local machines and ease
updating. If you
installed the files, you may leave them there ... or
remove them. We will be
releasing a new version once we complete more of Kent's sections.
And there will be a complete set of direct web links accessible from
this site.
