Digital Photography eBook: "PhotoImpressionism"

A "How To" electronic PDF book on Creative Editing of Digital Photographs by Bob Belhouse

Almost any digital photograph can be significantly improved through the application of creative editing (aka. "image manipulation"). Photo artist Bob Belhouse explains how to optimize the artistic value of your images in his book, "PhotoImpressionism". Here are a number of Before & After examples.

He has greatly expanded the scope of Photoshop (including "Elements") by incorporating a large collection of powerful, third-party plugin filters and provides links for you to add these free tools to your version of Photoshop. His book demonstrates how these and other Photoshop techniques can be used to enhance various aspects of your images including lighting, focus, color, etc. Topics also covered include color management, layers, workflow, composition and HDR imaging to name a few. The digital book is 260 pages in length and includes over 240 color images.

If you want to experiment with creating "paintings" from some of your photos, he shows many techniques how to achieve this look, including the application of realistic digital textures and brush strokes.

The book is available in PDF format and will be emailed to you once payment has been received and verified. If you have questions, please contact me and I will get back to you as quickly as I can.

Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of being personally tutored by Bob Belhouse and can attest to his exceptional skills as a photographer, artist and teacher. His latest endeavor, "Photoimpressionism", an electronic book, is packed with loads of information ranging from philosophy of what constitutes art to how to get photo filters, basic Photoshop information, workflow and many chapters of valuable information as how to improve your creative skills. The book is excellently and professionally composed and is priced a fraction of what it would cost to obtain this information from a professional publisher. I heartedly recommend Photoimpressionism to photographers at all levels , whether just beginning or advanced.
