Media Reviews

'I will buy anything by Max Ferguson... This is a book I want to read and I would imagine that the majority of those involved in darkroom or digital printing would too.'
Adam Woolfitt - professional digital imaging photographer; founding member of the Digital Imaging Group, London.


'When [Max Ferguson] gets going on computer usage there's no flannel, just hard-won experience laid out for everyone's benefit ... I am loathe to praise Max too much, but this is the best digital imaging book I've seen. Not just for transferring skills from darkroom to computer but for presenting photographers with a methodology for how to do their digital darkroom work.'
Joel Lacey, Best of Books 2000, Amateur Photographer, December 2000


'Thanks to his unique combination of experiences, Ferguson is one of almost certainly only a few people who could have written a book like this with such authority... Were it not for the fact that the digital world changes so rapidly, this ought to become classic in the best tradition of digital darkroom masterclass books. As it is, every digital image worker should go out and buy a copy right now.'
Jon Tarrant, British Journal of Photography, December 2000

'Max Ferguson has put together an easy to read book giving professional ways to achieve on the computer what you would once have done in the darkroom... A must have for any photographer who wants to get the best out of his images.'
A reader from Amazon.co.uk

'...well thought out with 'clean' imagery, well-planned screen grabs and a blow-by-blow commentary on the creation of some impressive illustrations. I loved this book for its clarity, simplicity and plain good sense. Suits all levels of experience - from novice to the well-accomplished pro photographer.'
