Title: Yep, an excellent book
Review: I'm an amateur digital photographer who deals with noise (used to be called grain in the film days), glare, sharpness (formerly focus), and other foibles. Photoshop CS2 has ways to address many of them, but using channels is a superb and subtle method for those difficult tasks that keep an image from being perfect. Using Scott Kelby's book has heightened my awareness of what is possible to quickly use in channels. His examples are excellent, and it is easy to explore the range of any given setting he suggests. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to improve his/her digital imaging techniques. This is not a fix-all book but is a book to add to your library. It is an easy read and a very good reference book. It is NOT the definitive technical dissertation on the theory of channels. Many other books cover that esoteric knowledge. This is a hands-on, step-by-step manual written by a master of digital imaging.
