Photographers are now embracing digital technology so widely and at such a pace that the traditional darkroom has gone from the status of endangered species almost to that of extinct. Even in amateur camera clubs, the desktop PC equipped with Photoshop is taking the place of the darkened room with its enlarger, trays of chemicals, and red safety light. Yet Photoshop is an immensely powerful and complex piece of software. Getting to grips with what it can do and mastering how to get the best from it can be daunting.

Photoshop Photo Effects offers the solution. It is a comprehensive practical handbook aimed directly at serious amateur photographers, students, graphic designers, and semiprofessionals - indeed, at anyone working with photographic images. It provides a systematic guide to using Photoshop to correct and enhance the exposure, contrast, tonal values, and color balance of photographic images.
