Aram - the PS for Photographers is a good book in my opinion.  It goes into
a good amount of detail about dpi, ppi and lpi- I haven't finished it yet.
I am also supplementing it with PS for dummies - I've had PS in one version
or another for 4 years and I never really sat down to try to learn it's use
in a methodical manner.  I guess at what I need and most of the time that's
sufficient.

Subject: [Leica] Book Recommendations, please


I seek understanding and knowledge.

I am fairly new to serious PhotoShop usage.  I have a devil of a time trying
to get the colors to accurately imitate the slides I scan.  Could someone
recommend a book that will lead me through the controls step by step, and
maybe has some sample files to work on from a CD-ROM?

I have seen a book called something like PhotoShop for Photographers, but it
is always sealed up so I can't get a look of what is inside.  Is this a good
one to start with?  I need something that will lead me through the
processes.  How do I use a histogram, what the heck does gamma have to do
with anything, which level do I choose to correct and why...

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Aram
