Introduction
Digital technology is fundamentally changing the realm of photography and printing. Photographers now have almost unlimited options for editing their images to the precise look that they intend. Printing has become infinitely more flexible and pushed closer to the image creator. We can now use images in almost any form of visual communication. They have become a key element of the information revolution. This added flexibility brings more and more attention to the process of editing images.

Adobe® Photoshop® is the essential tool for visual imaging. There are other simpler programs on the market, but most don’t provide the essential tools for editing images accurately. Photoshop is a very comprehensive program – probably the most complex program I have ever used. My goal is to present Photoshop in an accessible way. Even though Photoshop provides thousands of complex techniques for editing images, most users and most images don’t need all this complexity. In fact, you only need to do a few basic steps in
Photoshop to get the vast majority of images to shine. In this book, I introduce you to the basic step-by-step process I use on most of my images. This includes steps for editing density, contrast, and color plus basic techniques for image processing like converting images from color to black and white and sharpening images. My workflow is complete, but I do not include many of the more complex and esoteric techniques common to the Photoshop marketplace. Take a quick look at the chapters of this book. They include the basic workflow for editing images: opening digital camera images, cleaning up images, basic adjustments, local adjustments, photographic processes, printing, and output to the web. They also include some Photoshop lessons (layers and masks, elements of the interface, and some special features) and lots of image editing techniques. If this seems sufficient for your work, let’s get working.
