Whoever picked “A Workshop in a Book” as the second half title of “Photoshop CS3 for Nature Photographers” hit the nail squarely on the head. The book is exactly that and more - a user-friendly digital workshop complete with a CD of workable images.

Art Wolfe, in his forward to the book, says, “It’s a book about digital workflow and related issues, but first and foremost it’s a book about photography.”
