Reviews

This book has great material if you're interested in black & white, and it has some good things to offer even for people who want to work in color. The book starts off on the wrong foot, but then it becomes very useful beginning in Chapter 3.
This book should be titled something like "An introduction to Photoshop and Black and White Printing for Beginners." I was halfway through the book before the author began to address Black and White printing.
This book does live up to its title in my opinion. The illustrations are very well organized with the text, moving from simple to more complex.
Very good book but extremely technical. Not a quick read but is chock-full of useful and practical information.
Extremely useful for any serious photographer interested in printing in high quality black and white.
Very good overview and very timely. The samples of solutions available in the marletplace are up to date for 2007.
This book was recommended on internet fora on printers and inkjet printing and they were absolutely right. This is a well written book for photographers who wish to go deep in the world of B&W shooting and inkjet printing.
I bought this book because I was interested in better digital black and white workflows. The interesting thing, however, is that all of the book's excellent and clear topics are applicable to the color digital workflow as well.
If you've managed to get some decent looking B&W prints from your current model inkjet using the relevant inbuilt driver settings and looking to move your output quality up a notch, this book sadly won't help you. Though there's some mention of Quadtone RIP and StudioPrint for linearization (plus alternative third-party inksets) the detail isn't there to show you why and how to get the most from them.
This is a really excellent book for those interested in serious B&W digital printing. The book is extremely well written and researched.
From capture to the digital Fine Art Print, Amadou Diallo will explain the tools of the trade in plain, patient language. He is a master printer and an excellent teacher.
Warning: This book is NOT for you if your primary interest is truly that of "mastering" digital black and white photography and printing.Any time a book title includes the words "mastering" or "ultimate" my smell-o-rama sensor automatically activates.
