Kurzbeschreibung
Using the digital darkroom to perfect underwater images, this guide is loaded with tips on how to finesse, fine-tune, retouch, and enhance underwater film scans and digital images with Adobe Photoshop. This comprehensive look at the required setup for a digital darkroom outlines the necessary hardware, monitor calibration, and room lighting, in addition to providing a survey of the top editing tools and descriptions of the most tried-and-true correction techniques. Step-by-step instructions explain how to group underwater images for editing; approach corrections for images that require a multi-step enhancement process; and choose the right output options for printed images, video, slide shows, and Web viewing.

My best advice would be to master (if that is at all possible) Photoshop before turning your attention to this book. There is no doubt that the authors understand the subject and have also found the right pitch in order to share their combined expertise with the reader.
I have a number of good quality colour slides which were never used because of something - such as a diver's fin, in the picture. The first lesson I learned from this book was how to remove those unwanted items in such a way as to leave no trace of any alteration.
My subject, however, is shipwrecks and high quality photographs of, for example, the entire stern or other large section of wreck, often elude me. Consequently, the content of page 99 jumped out at me. This shows a fairly good quality photo of the stern of a large shipwreck surrounded by 5 divers with even more in the far distance. With carefully detailed instructions, this picture is changed from something which was good into something quite spectacular.
Having read that particular page several times, I then played around with some of my own photographs and, to begin with, ended up overdoing it. Of course the advantage of computer enhanced images means that none of the original detail was lost and I was able to start over. My point being, I would caution the reader not to overdo their alterations to photographs.
Altogether, a very good product and one which has a definite place on the bookshelf of all serious underwater photographers.

Concentrates on the Special Problems of Underwater
3. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is really the third book in a series by the photographer - writer team of Jack and Sue Drafahl. First is Digital Imaging for the Underwater Photographer. Second is Master Guide for Underwater Digital Photography. All three published by Amherst Media.
The reason for this book is that underwater photography, under the best of circumstances (and how often do you find those) the filtering and color changing effects of water tend to produce images that are simply not what we want to see in a photograph. Colors tend to get washed out, after all, the fish doesn't want to stand out too much. Fish that stand out tend to become dinner for somne other fish. But in looking at the picture, we want to see the fish. Photoshop is the answer.
This book is not a tutorial on how to get started with Photoshop. It presumes a certain base knowledge so that it can spend its time on the particular needs, problems and solutions for the problems facing people editing underwater photographs. At that task, this book is beautifully done.

Good Buy, Even for a Professional
13. Juli 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I purchased this book thinking that there might not be much information I could use, but boy was I wrong! I use photoshop professionally, and thought I knew the program-- but I am by no means a program guru--this book contains good grounding information about tools to use, and then has some great step by step examples to help people solve some pretty big image issues. If you know how to use Photoshop, but just can't seem to tweak your photos the way you want... IMHO Buy This Book.

GREAT Info for any UW Photographer
6. Februar 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
A great resource for those who know, or are just begining to use photoshop. It helps you apply this powerful program to the unique problems of underwater photography, with easy hands on demonstrations. Version differences sometimes get in the way a bit, but the concept is clear and you just have to figure out how a newer version does what they may have done on the version this was written on.
All in all a very helpful book, with many great tips and concepts. I have used photoshop for a while, and been shooting UW for several years, this has already helped me get better photos and I have not hit the water since I got the book. I revisited some shots with specific problems that I learned a fix from in this book. Paid for itself in the first week.
