Dan Margulis的Professional Photoshop第5版大約會在一個月之內上市(很多人認為,這本書是「色彩修正」方面的最經典著述)。
我把作者提供的一些相關資訊列示於下(恕我不翻譯成中文,因為這本書大概不可能有中文版):
=====================
John Ruttenberg has posted a pre-review based on his impressions of the first draft. If you read it, please remember that the book has been extensively
rewritten from the time he read it. It's at
http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1905924Since I intend this to be the last of the Professional Photoshop series, I
rewrote nearly everything. The content overall is almost 90% new. The changes in emphasis come from reader requests, particularly from this list. Channel blending has been greatly expanded and redone from the ground up. So has sharpening, including hiraloam. There are many more examples of how to convert out-of-gamut colors into something printable. Also, by popular demand even though it is not strictly speaking color correction, there's a chapter on the politics of and the best file prep procedures for commercial offset printing. Camera Raw and Shadow/Highlight, which did not exist at the time of the last edition, get full chapters.
A chapter to chapter comparison of the new to the previous edition follows. I
hope list members find the fifth edition useful, and I again thank the list
for its support.
