Adobe Camera Raw for Digital Photographers Only (For Only)
Customer Review: Please note - this book is for Camera Raw in CS3
This looks to be a great book. Unfortunately in the section where it goes into camera Raw in great detail, it seems to be using the version in Photoshop CS3 and says there are “substantial updates” between that and the one in CS2. I have CS2, and I didn’t see any reference to which version of Camera raw this book uses before buying it. I even looked at the back cover in the “look inside!” feature but it didn’t specify.

This book will definitely be useful to anyone with CS3. It will be nearly as useful to someone with CS2 but some parts may not be 100% relevant. I’m only in chapter 5 (and I skipped a lot of chapter 4 which was describing the layout of Camera Raw) but already I know it’s a worthwhile book to have. I’m just hoping most of the rest of it is applicable to CS2 as I can’t afford the upgrade at the moment.

Customer Review: Fantastic for all levels.
Not many things I’ve bought on Amazon (just a beginner) but this one had to be bought after seeing the table of contents.

Always been with a Sony DSC-F717 thinking I was the king of the world until I did the big step, bought a Canon 30D thinking I knew everything. Didn’t even know what RAW meant!

I decided to buy this book (together with another one about taking better pictures) given the fact that I was completely useless at DSLR.

Well, this book will give almost no information about how to take better pictures, but that is not what it is meant for. If what you are looking for is to know how to mold your RAW files with Camera Raw bingo, you hit the right place!

This book brings you from knowing zero about RAW photography to actually making you feel comfortable about opening RAW files and going for the real perfectionism. On the process it will give you very, very good info on all kind of details (simple as well as complex) and most of all, even better than the subject itself, the fact that the author really CARES about you learning and trying to give you the self confidence needed to try out things without fear.

Excellent, simply excellent. Thank you.
