Smart Object PipelineRevolutionary Tactics for the Photoshop Layer Workflowby Ted Dillard

Adobe introduced Smart Objects with Photoshop CS2—but geared it to graphic designers, not photographers.Now, with CS4 looming, the company’s engineers have nearly perfected this powerful tool, and they’re aiming atdigital photographers too. In his third Pipeline volume, Ted Dillard explains the technology, providing a detailed andelegant workflow guide for photographers and Photoshop enthusiasts. It’s up to date for the newest technologyand includes a thorough primer on Adobe Camera RAW, building images through layers, using JPEGS in RAW, colormanagement, and much more. Dillard culls the vast amounts of information about Photoshop and Smart Objectsinto an easily digestible, step-by-step process that will change how photographers work with RAW files forever.

• To date, there are no other books about Smart Objects directed at the digital photography community. In fact, little hasbeen mentioned in terms of using Smart Objects alongside RAW image file processing. This is truly a unique title

• Smart Objects completely change how photographers can optimize digital images: when a photographer makes imageadjustments in Photoshop, it erodes the data. But this technology preserves and even adds to the image information

• Ted Dillard is at the forefront of digital imaging, creating processes that even Adobe engineers have not yet explored.There are no other authors even attempting this type of digital imaging, much less mastering and creating unique techniques

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

TED DILLARD is a nationally exhibiting artist and an instructor who has taught classes in Fine ArtDigital Imaging and Photoshop at Northeastern University and the Northeastern University School ofProfessional and Continuing Studies, as well as at The Art Institute of Boston and The New EnglandSchool of Photography.

Digital Exposure Handbookby Ross Hoddinott

“Exposure is the heartbeat of photography… If you try to overlookthis key fundamental, your photography will never realize its fullcreative potential.” That’s the compelling message of this extraor-dinary tutorial. It explains why automatic settings limit the digitalcamera’s artistic possibilities, and shows with a gallery of spec-tacular examples how technically “incorrect” exposures achievedramatic effects—creating bold silhouettes, manipulating depthof field, blurring to give the sense of motion, or freezing fastaction. This state-of-the-art manual covers all aspects of its subject,from the basics of metering and the use of flash and filters, to thefour-thirds system and exposure in the digital darkroom.

• Both an A-to-Z course suitable for beginners and an indispensable companion for the professional in the field
