RE: Real World PhotoShop 5

[Cathy Brown <catbrown@cwix.com>]

I have read Professional PhotoShop from cover to cover and found it
fascinating but of little practical use to me. Here's why. I am an amateur
working solely on RGB files and Margolis' entire emphasis is on CMYK and why
it is so much more powerful than any other color space. He spends most of
the book walking you through various color corrections in CMYK, assuming for
example, that you intuitively know the correct CMYK percentages for fire
engine red. On the other hand, just understanding how he looks at and
analyzes color in a raw scan was very valuable as was his discussion of LAB.
It's hard to say whether you would find it useful.

Hi all,

In addition to "Real World Photoshop 5", people have been recommending to
me a book titled "Professional PhotoShop 5.0: The Classic Guide to Color
Correction" by Dan Margulis and Cary Sullivan.

Do any listees have this book?  Any feedback?
