Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
Darren: I think his use is much more common: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Negative I know when I hear the term, I think RAW files and not the object you described.

Re: The Digital Negative . Book Review
Darren, That term has been in use for many years now, - I think since at least the first "raw" format images were produced by the digital cameras. The word "negative" lost its original "negative" (i.e. the one that has polarity opposite to the print) meaning, and means any source (including a file) from which you can do printing. It also has a connotation of the "original" file that cannot be changed (e.g. for forensic/legal purposes) and can be accepted as a legal proof (hence the DNG format - digital negative). Some words lost their original meaning and a new live in the digital world... BTW, "file" - is one of those words.

Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
Thoroughly enjoyed your review, Mark. Thanks. Schewe really knows his stuff and is a good, clear writer. If I see his name on a book I know to expect good stuff.

Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
Thanks for the review. I dislike the use of the term "Digital Negative" in the sense used for this book title. The term "digital negative" is used today to refer to the process of using an inkjet printer and transparency material to make a large format negative for contact printing (usually with a historic or alternative process) to create a print in a traditional darkroom (from what was originally a digital image). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: The Digital Negative — Book Review
I agree with Mark's review. I bought the Kindle version and read it over a couple of days. I found Schewe's insight into color correction with Lightroom and Photoshop very valuable. This will be my recommendation for anyone looking for something more than an introductory step-by-step, how-to book. gs George Sinos gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 9:12 AM, Mark Roberts wrote: > I've just finished going through my review sample of "The Digital > Negative: Raw Image Processing in Lightroom, Camera Raw, and > Photoshop" by Jeff Schewe.

The Digital Negative Book Review
I've just finished going through my review sample of "The Digital Negative: Raw Image Processing in Lightroom, Camera Raw, and Photoshop" by Jeff Schewe. I don't think it's going to be applicable to any of the classes I'm teaching at the moment, but it's a damn fine reference for photographers doing raw conversion.
