Thanks a million for the info. It could be just the ticket for the odd time that hauling another head into place is overkill. I’ll check it out.

Kind regards

The light George let me use was called a ‘Light Panel’ and I know you can order these via Gomediamonkey.com. These are not particularly bright for stills work as they are mainly designed for video. In this case however, the light panel at full power provided just the right amount of fill for the cover image shot.

The first book was invaluable (as are your Photoshop series) So really looking forward to this one. My question is a little off topic but I’m hoping you can help. George’s fab little LED light bank that helped you with that bit of fill light for the cover shoot – Where would I get one, who makes them? I’ve searched online without joy so here’s hoping you can help.

Kind regards

I enquired with the publisher about this and they pointed out that there is an ad in the book that tells you how to get on-line access to the book. So the answer is yes, you can get to read it on-line as without having to purchase the ebook version.

This is an encrypted PDF version of the physical book.

I pre-ordered this as soon as it was possible. Amazon screwed up though so I won’t get it till next week, but very much looking forward to it!

One problem though. I will soon leave for a 4 months trip around South America. Despite a need to save weight I will bring a laptop and expect that much of my spare time will go into organizing and editing images. It would be fantastic to have your book with me so I can learn on the way. But it’s just too heavy to carry around for months… Is it possible to get a digital version, similar to the ammendment to the v1 book?

All useful hints etc gratefully recieved!

As in the previous book, there are figure diagrams where enlarged panels fill the margin. However, in addition to this I have now placed enlarged panel views that float over many of the window UI screen shots. This isn’t seen in every UI screen shot, but I do this whenever it is important for the reader to see the settings used. I would say that in most cases the enlarged panel views allow you to read the panel contents at a font size 50% bigger than before and just slightly smaller than the font size used for the captions.

Is the new edition easier to read?
