Weary of 800-page books that try to teach you everything about digital photography? You should be. Rather than delve into the nuances of efficient workflow, color management, or creating spectacular enhancements, these doorstop volumes tend to gloss over key information in an attempt to cover everything. Our new book series, Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography , is different. An award-winning photographer, Eddie is acknowledged as one of the premier trainers of digital imaging in the world, a highly sought-after expert who educates many corporations, studios and agencies. In this series, he brings his teaching experience to bear on technical issues in six focused and affordable books on digital photography that offer one topic per volume with answers that are quick to find when you need them most. The first book, Photoshop Workflow Setups: Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography , offers a step-by-step approach for configuring key areas of Adobe Photoshop CS2 to create an efficient, visually uncluttered workspace. Photoshop has so many different work areas and tools that it can become confusing or even intimidating for digital photographers to use in a production environment-whether you're a serious amateur or a working professional. This highly-visual, well-designed book presents Photoshop's vast collection of menus, palettes, and tools, showing you not only how they work, but how they should work for you and your specific needs. With his easygoing and authoritative style, Eddie demonstrates how to: create an efficient workspace by using the arrange menu and setting the screen view; become familiar with palettes for layers, channels and paths, history and actions, color, swatches and styles, and more; set preferences for file handling, guides and grids, memory and image cache, and more; customize keyboard shortcuts and menus; work with Adobe Bridge; and use Photoshop's selection, painting, graphics, and vector tools, among others. In addition to this title, Eddie Tapp on Digital Photography will also focus on color management; advanced and professional production techniques; controlling digital color and tone; and creative enhancement techniques. We're thrilled that Eddie Tapp has finally agreed to publish books - and with O'Reilly.

Освещение, особенно освещение искусственными источниками света — одна из самых сложных техник в фотографии. Освещение подразумевает больше, чем включение лампы, или двух, это — в высшей степени творческое средство фотографии — само слово фотография значит «письмо светом». Освещение — больше чем свет, подобно тому, как объект съемки – больше чем предмет. Правильное освещение может изменять видимую форму предметов, их текстуры и фон. Цвет добавляет еще одно измерение в технику освещения.

Даже опытные профессиональные фотографы асто склонны к тому, чтобы подходить к освещению в художественной съемке интуитивно. Это весьма удивляет. Свет — это в большей степени предмет теории, чем нечто осязаемое. А в фотографии свет является жизненно важным фактором, гораздо более важным, чем фотокамера. Композиция зависит от камеры, точки съемки, объектива и настройки, но изображение зависит от света.

Естественный источник света — солнце, бесконечно разнообразный в своем настроении и эффектах. И этим источником света невозможно управлять. Он изменяет направление и цветовой баланс, прячется за облаками и играет, в то время как сроки сдачи работы угрожающе приближается. Искусственный свет — очевидная, более предсказуемая альтернатива. В современной фотографии электронная вспышка является сложным искусственным источником освещения, заменяющим дневное освещение.

Вы можете научиться тому, как создавать освещение. Эта книга направлена на то, чтобы свести сложность света и освещения к уровню, на котором их можно изучить. В книге представлены необходимые основы для начинающих, практические инструкции, для людей, обладающих некоторым опытом и справочник для выполнения отдельных задач. Настоящее третье издание книги было коренным образом переработано, в него добавлено много новых иллюстраций. Особое внимание уделено новому осветительному оборудованию, включая новые устройства, необходимые для цифровой фотографии, кроме того, в данной книге приводятся мнения профессионалов о последних достижениях световых технологий и осветительных техник, а также недавно открытые исторические факты, касающиеся развития электронных фотовспышек.
