Landscapes & Cityscapes the digital photographers handbook Simon Joinson Good little Rotovision book that takes one through the photographic experience from the digital point of view, in an easily digested full colour picture box style with copious example pictures, diagrams linking to the Photoshop menus. Topics such as correcting converging verticals digitally are simply and clearly dealt with. There is a black and white section, although starting it off with 'you'll never need to buy a black and white film again...' does not endear it to SP management. 2002, Rotovision, 112 pp Order code: 44 993 Price: £14.95

The Digital Photographers Handbook - Portraits Simon Joinson This hasn't got much to do with taking good portraits, coming more from the 'fix it all up in Photoshop later' school of technique. Aimed unashamedly at the novice, it succeeds in de-mystifying many of the Photoshop tools. Example-led, full of double spreads showing the transformation of run-of-the-mill shots into something worth presenting. Very high quality printing, typical of all the recent Rotovision books. 2002, Rotovision, 112 pp Order Code: 47 172 Price: £14.95

Max Ferguson's DIGITAL DARKROOM Max Ferguson Aimed by Max to fit in alongside Martin Evenings 'Adobe Photoshop for X' series, it deals entirely with Photoshop techniques, but from the point of view of the printer who was brought up with the traditional wet darkroom, and who knows what they want when they convert to the digital side. It actually starts off with a darkroom section, before making the jump to digital, which is eased in gently through scanning, and the basic Photoshop tools. Reference is always being made back to the traditional, as in burning & dodging, toning effects andrestoring and repairing old images. A CD is included with examples of images from the book, supplied in layers that can be used to work the examples. 2000 Focal Press, Softback, 214 pages Order Code: 47 184 Price: £29.99
