Praise for author’s previous books:
Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements 4
Review 1:
‘As a “collectionner” of the best Photoshop books on the market I must recommend this excellent book from Richard Lynch to all the digital photographers among us.Other reviewers explained the content of the book in detail so I won’t do the same,I can only agree their comments!
This book is not for beginners, but if you want to understand how “digital photography” sees the real world and how a camera or a scanner tranlate all what you see in the digital format then this book is for you.
Lynch is a real PRO and takes the patience to explain ALL the hidden secrets behind this tremendous Adobe’s software.
This is a cheap investment for YEARS believe me; you’ll learn on your own pace the multiple facets of “seeing images” like a photographer and by following the exercises and explanations of the 11 chapters (take your time to re-read from time to time and practice,practice…)you NEVER take photos the same way you did before!
The greatest bonus is the companion cd with all the hidden tools(above 100 and the images used in the book).
Richard Lynch has given us an enormous homework to do but it’s worth more than any training course that costs you a hundred of bucks!
Terrific,awesome,well explained,I can’t find words enough to recommend this book.’
Review 2:
‘the book is full of invaluable advice. Workflow, separations, masking… The combination of Elements 4 with the book and tools covers all my expectations for a dedicated amateur. And yes, I like shooting raw, taking advantage of 16 bits,black and white… and I have still much too learn from the book!’
Review 3:
‘It’s an advanced book that does provide you with information about hidden features, undocumented capabilities, and things you never thought of doing with Photoshop Elements 4. As the program itself is based on Photoshop CS, there are lots of things to reveal, and Lynch does a good job of presenting them in a clear and concise way.’
Praise for Hidden Power of PS Elements 3:
Review 1: ‘This book provides great information on digital color reproduction and alteration.The book has many good examples for teaching techniques for digital photographic enhancement using Elements 3. The plug-ins are great! Well worth the $$ Best book I,ve found on digital imagery and Elements 3.’
Review 2: ‘I wish I could give more stars to this book….The book is written almost like a text book. I found the lessons to be deep, but the text to be very well written and very concise. Mr. Lynch writes to teach and not to show how much he knows (although this is quite evident by reading the book). The book is not just how to use the tools supplied in Photoshop Elements 3, but is about obtaining a deep understanding of the makeup of an image and how to manipulate the image with the knowledge.
Extremely impressive. At this price, it really is a gift from Richard Lynch!

David Freeman brings you the inside scoop on how to apply the Emotioneering™ techniques he’s so well known for. These powerful techniques create a breadth and depth of emotion in a game, and induce a player to identify with the role he or she is playing. Mr. Freeman’s techniques are so highly sought after because they’re the key to mass market success in today’s competitive game market. The over 300 distinct Emotioneering techniques in this book include (to name but a few): ways to give emotional depth to an NPC (non-player character), even if the NPC has just one line of dialogue; techniques to bond a player to a game’s NPCs; and techniques to transform a game into an intense emotional journey. In a warm and crystal-clear style, Mr. Freeman provides examples which demonstrate exactly how to apply the techniques. He also shows how some of these techniques were utilized in, and contributed greatly to the success of such games as “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City”; “Deus Ex”; and “Thief” I & II, among others. The book is packed with striking art by some of today’s top concept artists and illustrators, including an eight-page color section and a four-color, fold-out cover. When you’ve finished this book, you’ll be equipped to apply Mr. Freeman’s powerful Emotioneering techniques to artfully create emotion in the games you design, build, or produce.

“Dale Angell’s Filmmaker’s Guide to Final Cut Pro Workflow is the postproduction supervisor’s equivalent to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
It provides a babelfish to translate Geek speak into plain English. His wealth of experience in editing and sound makes the book an invaluable aid to navigating the plethora of HD codecs and finishing workflows now available to editors. Don’t leave home without it.”
