Excellent source for Underwater Photographers

While this book does not offer the in depth of the latest techniques of Photoshop CS3 it is an excellent reference to address the most common problems.

Lots of good information

It sure made it easier to navigate through Photoshop. I still have a lot to learn, but it's easier with Sue and Jack's help.

GREAT Info for any UW Photographer

A great resource for those who know, or are just begining to use photoshop. It helps you apply this powerful program to the unique problems of underwater photography, with easy hands on demonstrations. Version differences sometimes get in the way a bit, but the concept is clear and you just have to figure out how a newer version does what they may have done on the version this was written on.

All in all a very helpful book, with many great tips and concepts. I have used photoshop for a while, and been shooting UW for several years, this has already helped me get better photos and I have not hit the water since I got the book. I revisited some shots with specific problems that I learned a fix from in this book. Paid for itself in the first week.
