The Digital Negative: Raw Image Processing in Lightroom, Camera Raw, and Photoshop
by Jeff Schewe
Overview
Shooting in the raw format gives digital photographers complete
control over every aspect of image quality. The Digital
Negative: Raw Image Processing in Lightroom, Camera Raw, and
Photoshop is devoted exclusively to the topic and shows you how
to make the most of that control. Now that raw image processing
technology has matured as an essential aspect of digital
photography, you need a modern book that takes a seasoned approach
to the technology and explains the advantages and challenges of
using Lightroom or Camera Raw to produce magnificent images.
Renowned photographer and bestselling author Jeff Schewe outlines a
foolproof process for working with these digital negatives and
presents his real-world expertise on optimizing raw images.
You’ll also learn hands-on techniques for exposing and
shooting for raw image capture and developing a raw processing
workflow, as well as Photoshop techniques for perfecting the master
image, converting color to black and white, and processing for
panoramic and HDR images.
Get the best tone and color from your digital negatives.
Use Lightroom and Camera Raw sharpening controls to maximize image quality.
Take advantage of Photoshop to do what Lightroom and Camera Raw can’t.
Produce stunning black-and-white images.
