Overview
Adobe Photoshop is one of the more powerful tools available to
scientists today. It is indispensable in the preparation of digital
images of specimens for measurement, especially for separating
relevant features from background detail. Scientific Imaging with
Photoshop is the authoritative guide to the use of Photoshop in
scientific research, with a special emphasis on the ethical
ramifications of the use of image-enhancement software to extract
data from digital images. Beginning Photoshop users will benefit
from its tutorials in the basics of image processing, and more
sophisticated users will appreciate the sections on automating
Photoshop operations with actions. In addition, the book lays out
procedures in straightforward language for acquiring digital images
as well as outputting processed images in digital and hard-copy
formats.
Scientific Imaging with Photoshop provides all this and more:
• Little-known methods separating features of interest from
the background for subsequent quantification
• How to make dense colors and subtle visual detail reproduce
properly in publication
• Correct Photoshop methods and techniques for all user
levels
• Procedures that are usable in legacy versions of Photoshop
as well as Photoshop Elements and Photoshop Extended
