Mastering Camera Raw is divided into 11 chapters within 2
DVDs. The documentation states that these DVDs are optimized for
playback on a computer. I found satisfactory
results on my TV with a DVD player. The audio quality of the
DVDs is clear yet it was recorded low. You will need to turn up
the volume on your computer speakers or TV. The video
quality is good but could be sharper and clearer.
Here is a summary of the contents:
Chapter 1 - Introduction - This is a very brief introduction by
Ben.
Chapter 2 - Adjust Tab. This chapter describes exposure,
shadows, highlights, white balance, contrast and saturation
settings.
Chapter 3 - Detail Tab. This chapter describes the sharpness,
Luminance smoothing and color noise reduction settings.
Chapter 4 - Lens Tab. This chapter describes the "Fix Red/Cyan
Fringe" and "Fix Blue/Yellow Fringe" settings and vignetting.
Chapter 5 - Curve Tab. This chapter describes how to adjust the
curve setting.
Chapter 6 - Calibrate Tab. This chapter describes how to
calibrate your camera raw files from your camera with the camera
raw application to create a custom profile.
Chapter 7 - Start to Finish. This chapter describes the workflow
of adjusting a camera raw file using the lessons learned from
the previous chapters.
Chapter 8 - The Bridge. This chapter provides an overview of the
Bridge application as it relates to camera raw files. You will
learn how to adjust more than one raw file at a time.
Chapter 9 - The Cache. This chapter describes how Camera Raw
uses cache files with your raw files.
Chapter 10 - File Formats. This chapter describes the various
file formats created/used when working with raw files.
Chapter 11 - Power Tips. This chapter describes key board short
cuts, using the image processor via Bridge and embedding raw
files in Photoshop.
Summary: If you have never used Camera Raw before and you are a
visual person (you learn best from watching someone perform a
task rather than reading about) then this 2 DVD set is for you.
The DVDs will get you up to speed on the all features of Camera
Raw faster and better than any book. You will also pick up some
helpful tips along the way to save yourself time and work more
efficiently with raw files. The 2nd DVD also contains the raw
files used in the examples/tutorials to practice on. 2 DVDs
containing just 150 minutes I believe this is a fair value.
Fortunately, this DVD set can be bought online (at Peachpit.com
for example) at a substantial discounted price, making it a very
good value. I highly recommend this product. Ben is an excellant
teacher and presenter with the knowledge of the topic to back it
up.
This is a 2-disc DVD set for photographers
about using the Camera Raw settings in Photoshop.
