Professional Photoshop: The Classic Guide to Color Correction by Dan Margulis

Dan Margulis is known as the experts’ expert on the logical and effective ways to make any image look its best, according to Design Tools Monthly, and imaging guru Scott Kelby looks up to him as “the father of digital pre-press”. In fact, in 2001, he was one of the first three individuals - and the only writer - to be named as a member of the Photoshop Hall of Fame.

His book “Professional Photoshop: The Classic Guide to Color Correctionâ€? is now on its 5th edition and it has been completely revised for the era of digital photography. It is arguably the most influential book in Photoshop history, according to its publisher Peachpit Press. It is commonly referred to as “the bible of electronic pre-press” and, since its first edition in 1994, has introduced most of the advanced correction techniques that are assumed knowledge for today’s professionals.

Margulis’s ability to reduce complicated concepts to words will help users grasp concepts regarding color, curves, and channels. The book also offers the reader an in-depth understanding of the most advanced Photoshop techniques.

The book is available as an eBook in the PDF format from Peachpit for $43.
