What are you looking for specifically Dave?
Hecate – The Real One
still questions about White Balance, Hecate.
IMHO, sometimes you really need to read a book, or parts of one ๐
รดkay Hecate, lets start here…
checking in the book shelve next to my desk I find:
Adobe Photoshop Toolkit Album 2 SE (Full Program)
from the makers of Computer Arts
How to Do Everything with
Photoshop CS (now in Full Color)
by Colin Smith
Photoshop CS for Windows and Mac
in Full Colour by
Robert Shufflebotham
Adobe Photoshop – Working Smarter
from the makers of Computer Arts
good, lets move to the magazine shelve:
Digital Photo Effects
Digital Photo Effects
Digital Photo Effects
etc
etc
etc
etc
and many more but said one became my favourite
(sorry Hecate, I could not hear that mumbling clearly;
remember what I said about your accent:-)))
Although I don’t agree with everything he says about workflow and use of RAW (particularly his choice of colour space, Bruce Fraser’s Real World Camera RAW is hard to beat. For an explanation of digital capture, I’ve yet to see anything clearer than the chapter in Martin Evening’s Photoshop for Photographers.
I am glad you mentioned this because I intend(ed) to order:
The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) by Scott Kelby
Scott Kelby is President of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP
I’ve noted Martin Evening market a book under the same title but looking at Kelby’s portfolio, I thought to go for his version although I have not seen Evening’s portfolio (neither in the evening or morning time:-)
Something I am guilty of is buying a book, spend half an hour on it and start searching on Internet again for what I want while ignoring the book.
This time I could here you clearly! … and I agree that it is stupid and a waste of money.
If you must use the net <g> a good general site which includes quite a lot about "digital darkroom" is http://luminous-landscape.com/ though I don’t remember anything specific about RAW WB.
it is not really necessary using the net, but I love doing it.
Russell Brown is always a pretty good choice for info, though again I don’t remember if he specifically deals with WB:
http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html
And if you want a rather jaundiced view of digital photography (but fun to read all the same) look at Steven Livick’s site:
http://www.livick.com/method/treadmill/pg1.htm
He also has good info on his site about printing and print longevity which is rather more realistic than Wilhelm. Again, maybe not what you wanted, but worth bookmarking for the future.
This article is quite clear on the basics of WB:
http://www.photoxels.com/tutorial_white-balance.html
This one is quite good at balance correction using PS:
http://www.earthboundlight.com/phototips/white-balance-photo shop.html
Not forgetting Adobe, this article (a pdf) is quite good:
www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/ps_workflow_sec3.pdf
And this one is quite good too:
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/white-balance.htm
The problems with all of the above is that they are, necessarily, quite short. Yes, we’re back to recommending the books I first mentioned again… ๐
Hecate – The Real One
Thanks Hecate, I’ll work through the lot of those urls.
and thanks a lot for it.
Lets see what Colin Smith’s got in ‘how to do everything with CS’ about RAW. This is a 393 pages book, and raw รฌs part of everything… in browsing through the contents, I do not see anything. I’ll let you know.
In the mean time, I’ve got urls to click on
