Photoshop Astronomy
Hi Guys - I'm not familiar with the API book but I know Scott's one quite well and would recommend it to anyone who can use PS already but only in a basic way.
I have an interest to declare. Scott is a good friend of mine. When I lived in Brazil I would come up to Miami and stay with him for a little while.
He was working on the book for a couple of years and it was great to see how it developed and evolved. He has a black cat who sat next to the mousepad all the way through the writing of the book and if she's not in the credits she should be. Writing such a complicated book would be a lonely experience.
There are a couple of my images on the DVD. They must be the examples of how to rescue bad photos and turn them into masterpieces!
The book is not light reading but the steps are easy to follow and all the effort he went to to use screen shots paid off.
Also let me comment on the fact that the book is not in colour. Scott told me the printers couldn't guarantee the colours would come out exactly as desired and he decided that it wasn't worth the risk as the subtle differences in some techniques of colour management are beyond the normal tonal range of the prinitng industry. The DVD of course has colour images.
