October 22nd, 2006 under Astronomy, Photography, Photoshop. [ Comments: none ]

Ever wanted a thorough step-by-step guide to processing your astrophotographs in Adobe Photoshop, well Ron Wodaski just answered your prayers! Ron’s previous book, “The New CCD Astronomy”, has become a classic among astrophotographers and now he’s followed it up with “The New Astro Zone System for Astro Imaging”.

This book covers image processing after the calibration and combining phase that’s typically done in programs, such as, MaximDL. Ron covers bringing out fine, dim details, removing gradients, fixing bloated stars, and refining color balance. The book also comes with a DVD filled with excellent examples.

Finishing up at Web Design World 2005 at the Seattle waterfront. They saved the best for last! Mike Ninness, from Lynda.com, is a great Photoshop speaker! I’ve never seen so many useful tips and hints in one sitting! If you get a chance to see him speak, do so.
