Title: Hurt by Lack of Editing
Product review: This is one of several books on digital B&W; photography that I own. I find that the author is too economical in his explanations of how he got from step to step, often leaving significantly large gaps of assumed reader knowledge or prescience. But my main complaint is the horrible job of editing. There are mistakes and disagreements between the text and the illustrations and the illustrations and their headings. If you're not already comfortable with fooling around with Photoshop tools, and just trying things, you can get totally lost trying to figure out whether the text, heading or illustration is correct.The book is attractive and well presented. However, after many years as a technical editor, I'd have been embarrassed to let this one go.
