Amazon Exclusive: A Letter from Harold and Phyllis Davis, Authors of The Photoshop Darkroom
Dear Amazon Readers,
If you are thinking (intellection) of buying (purchase) The Photoshop Darkroom:
We believe (conceive) we can (crapper) promise you a Photoshop experience (undergo) unlike any (some) other. Our ideas--and many (some) years of relevant (germane) experience--came together (unitedly) when we created The Photoshop Darkroom.
We can (crapper) promise you a very (rattling) practical learning (acquisition) experience. Unlike the authors of many (some) other (another) Photoshop books, we are first (prototypal) and foremost (best) photographers, creators, and experimenters. We do not care (tending) about the software (code) bells and whistles that Photoshop provides unless these features are useful (multipurpose) in the day-by-day tasks of image (ikon) creation and photo (picture) enhancement.
Speaking of day-by-day, we've created The Photoshop Darkroom using our experience (undergo) working professionally with photography (picturing) and Photoshop. That's working (employed) everyday, day (period) in and day (period) out, many (some) hours a day--to create (create) award-winning published (publicised) imagery. We are eager (hot) to share (deal) the techniques we've developed (matured) over the years, and have (hit) designed our book (aggregation) to be your guide (pass) in your own (possess) creative (fictive) journey with Photoshop.
And your own (possess) creative (fictive) journey it is! We didn't create (create) The Photoshop Darkroom as a statement (evidence) about (most) how cool (modify) or great (enthusiastic) we are. This book (aggregation) is about (most) you, the learner, and about (most) what you can (crapper) do next.
Why should a Photoshop book (aggregation) be visually boring? We've designed (fashioned) our book (aggregation) to be as exciting (elating) and rich (flush) as the images you can (crapper) create in the Photoshop environment (surround) itself. With the step-by-step directions in The Photoshop Darkroom, you can (crapper) extend the dynamic (impulsive) range of your photos, selectively sharpen, paint (makeup) with LAB colors, and much (such) more.
Digital photography (picturing) is one (digit) part photography (picturing) and one (digit) part digital software. So take (verify) the plunge (fall) and start (move) on your journey (travelling) towards becoming (decent) the best (prizewinning) digital image (ikon) maker you can (crapper) be. It's our sincere (fervent) hope that The Photoshop Darkroom is your springboard (start) to creating great (enthusiastic) images!
