This book (for Windows and Mac) breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that’s never been done before—it cuts through the bull and shows you exactly “how to do it.” It’s not a bunch of theory; it doesn’t challenge you to come up with your own settings or figure things out on your own. Instead, it does something that virtually no other Elements book has ever done—it tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. If you’re looking for one of those “tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Maskfilter” books, this isn’t it. You can grab any other Elements book on the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade for organizing, correcting, editing, sharpening, retouching, and presenting your photos like a pro. You’ll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective these techniques are—once you know the secrets.

You’ll learn:

  • The real secrets of how the pros retouch portraits
  • How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (you’ll be amazed at how they do it!)
  • How to use Camera Raw for processing not only RAW photos, but JPEGs and TIFFs, too! (And you’ll learn why so many pros like it best— because it’s faster and easier)
  • The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there’s an entire chapter just on this!)
  • How to deal with common digital camera image problems, including removing noise and avoiding halos
  • The most requested photographic special effects,  and much more!
The Book's Secret Weapon
Although Elements 8 offers some digital photography features that Photoshop CS4 doesn’t offer, there are plenty of features that Photoshop CS4 has that Elements 8 still doesn’t have (things like paths, Channel Mixer, etc.). But in this book, you’ll learn some slick workarounds, cheats, and some fairly ingenious ways to replicate many of those Photoshop features from right within Elements. Plus, since this book is designed for photographers, it doesn’t waste your time talking about how to frame a shot, setting your exposure, etc., and there’s no talk about which camera or printer to buy. It’s all Elements, step-by-step, cover-to-cover, in the only book of its kind!

This ultimate comprehensive photography book is revolutionary in four ways:

1) FREE VIDEO TRAINING. Integrated into the book's content, the author shows you exactly how he took the photos. If your eReader can play video (such as the Kindle app on an iPhone/iPad/Android, or the Kindle Fire), clicking the links when you have an Internet connection will load the video directly within your eReader.

2) NEVER OUTDATED. This book is regularly updated with new content (including additional videos) that existing owners receive for free. As new photography trends emerge and new camera equipment and lenses are released, you'll see them described in the book immediately.

3) 350+ HIGH RESOLUTION, ORIGINAL PICTURES. Detailed example pictures demonstrate both good and bad technique, all taken by the author himself in nine different countries. Most photo books use stock photography taken by other photographers. Zoom into the pictures by double-tapping your screen (on a Kindle Fire) or pinching-and-pulling your fingers apart (on an iPad/iPhone/Android).

4) HANDS-ON PRACTICES. Complete the practices at the end of every chapter to get the real world experience you need.

In this book, Tony Northrup (award-winning author of more than 30 how-to books and a professional portrait, wildlife, and landscape photographer) teaches you both the art and science of creating stunning pictures. First, you will master these basic concepts:

* Composition
* Exposure
* Shutter speed
* Aperture
* Depth-of-field
* ISO
* Natural light
* Flash
* Posing
* Troubleshooting bad pictures
* Using raw files
* Studio lighting
* Night photography
* HDR
* Macro/close-up photography

Then, you will learn the pro's secrets for photographing these subjects:

* People (candid, casual, formal, and underwater portraits)
* Weddings
* Pets
* Wildlife (mammals, birds, insects, fish, and more)
* Landscapes
* Cityscapes
* Sunrises and sunsets
* Flowers
* Forests, waterfalls, and rivers
* Fireworks
* Stars

When pictures don’t turn out the way you hoped, you can refer to Chapter 5 for tips on solving common problems.

UPDATE HISTORY:
12/11/2011: Initial release
1/10/2011: Expanded section on baby portraits (including video)
1/18/2012: Added integrated videos covering aperture and depth-of-field, light painting, HDR, and macro

The Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera is a revolutionary way to capture images and create art. This book picks up where your camera manual leaves off, teaching you to make pictures that truly show the beauty of the world around you. In this book, Tony Northrup teaches you both the art and science to create stunning pictures. You will learn how shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and flash impact your photos. You will also learn how to compose pictures, understand the qualities of natural and artificial light, and how to best add flash. More than 350 original pictures show the results of both good and bad technique, and you can complete the practices at the end of every chapter to get the hands-on experience that you need. Beyond the fundamentals, Tony dedicates entire chapters to portraits (including natural light, flash, and studio environments), weddings, animals and nature, landscapes and cityscapes, night and light painting, High Dynamic Range (HDR), macro/close-up, and underwater photography. When pictures don’t turn out the way you hoped, you can refer to Chapter 5 for tips on solving common problems. Because digital photography is a fast-moving field, Tony invented a brand new publishing process to keep this book up-to-date (as of December 2011). While other books waste time describing outdated photography technology, this book describes only modern DSLRs and post-processing software.

Includes: 40-Page Book with rare movie memorabilia reproductions, studio newsletters, posters, never before seen photos and much more! Relive the drama, conflict and power of one of the most influential anti-war films ever made,  All Quiet on the Western Front, featuring a new restoration from the original film negatives to showcase stunning picture and sound in celebration of Universal's 100th Anniversary.  The studio's first Best Picture Academy Award® winner follows a group of idealistic young men as they join the German Army during World War I and are assigned to the Western Front, where their patriotism is destroyed by the harsh realities of combat. The hard-hitting, timeless masterpiece returns with stunning visual enhancement to its deserving place in film history. Starring: Lew Ayres, Louis Wolheim, John Wray, Arnold Lucy, Ben Alexander, Slim Summerville Directed by: Lewis Milestone

If a classic movie can be measured by the number of indelible images it burns into the collective imagination, then All Quiet on the Western Front's status is undisputed. Since its release in 1930 (and Oscar win for best picture), this film's saga of German boys avidly signing up for World War I battle--and then learning the truth of war--has been acclaimed for its intensity, artistry, and grown-up approach. Director Lewis Milestone's technical expertise is already stunning in the great opening sequence, as a professor exhorts his students to volunteer for the glory of the Fatherland while troops march past the windows. Erich Maria Remarque's novel is faithfully followed, but Milestone's superbly composed frames make it physical: the first battle scene, with the camera prowling the trenches as they fill with death and chaos, was surely the Saving Private Ryan of its day. The cast is strong, with little-known Lew Ayres finding stardom in the lead (Ayres became a pacifist and conscientious objector during World War II; although he served in battle as a medic, the stance harmed his career). And the images are indelible: Ayres' lonely look back at the disappearing troop truck; the blinded soldier who runs into enemy fire at night; the fine pair of boots wasted on a boy with an amputated leg; and the final, devastating seconds, arguably the defining cinematic image of war in the 20th century. --Robert Horton
