    From An Old Film Guy...
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2011*

I've worked with computers for 25 years. I had no interest in digital photography.  I've been through it all before - upgrades of both software and hardware, trying to keep current on new features you probably will never need, etc. I figured it would be the same with Photoshop and digicams...and it has been. Plus, I have a traditional darkroom and 40 years experience with film ...and all my film cameras are paid for! However, I started reading Mr. Davis' blog. He talked about the unique possibilities with digital B&W that are much different from traditional photography. I've corresponded with him several times.  He's well aware that a lot of us cannot justify upgrading hardware and software every 18 months. Thus, in many ways, his book is a reference manual. It deals with new ways to apply core functions of Photoshop, and many techniques are cross referenced in the book. I have CS2, which is about the oldest version I would use, since Mr. Davis strongly advocates shooting in RAW and uses ACR extensively. I have been pleasantly surprised at how valuable this book has become to me in a short period of time. For example, the chart on page 68 was quite helpful to me. With anything digital, you can "process it" for days, trying for perfection. The chart indicates levels of digital B&W. Sometimes, you may want "gallery quality;" with other shots the "quick and dirty" approach is just fine. It's all in this book. It's the single best book on my type of digital photography I've found.  It's a wonderful book, just to browse. The printing and layout are of the highest quality, and Mr. Davis' photos are stunning. The techniques Mr. Davis suggests are illustrated with complete step-by-step instructions. As long as film is manufactured, that is what I will shoot. However, scanning negatives and trying out some "Photoshop Magic" is starting to make photography fun again. If you are just beginning with Photoshop, this book will be somewhat intimidating. Still, it was all new to me, and I find it's now an essential reference after about six months. In summary - this has been a great book for an old film guy. If you are interested in producing wonderful digital B&W prints, this book is the one for you.

    Practical and Technical
  

*by F***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2014*

A well written and logically laid-out, the author takes you through practical examples of digital conversion to black and white (that you actually can follow) within both Photoshop and Silver Efex. He also offers great insight into how to see and compose in black and white vs. color. I am a new black and white shooter, but even though, I believe most photographers would benefit from this book at some level.

    Much like the Freeman book
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018*

As I recently noted in my review of another Black and White digital book by Michael Freeman, I am not a huge fan of the "stars" method of review.  I think this is a book that is worth the price for any photographer who (like I do) likes to learn by reading and likes to "get under the hood" a little bit, and wants to work with Black and White digital processing of their images.Much like the Freeman book, this book is divided into 3 major sections.  Freeman goes into some detail about B&W photography history comparing film to digital capture.  Davis, instead, uses his first section more as a "philosophy of B&W shooting" piece.  Both are well done, but different.  The second two sections in both books are similar, going first into the actual process of B&W conversion and processing, and then giving some creative advice, example and perhaps motivation.I thought the first section in Davis' book could be thinned by about 2/3.  It just seems to repeat itself, and repeat itself.  But then, maybe I just don't "get" it.  He also has a tendency toward "flowery" language.  At times it may be a bit overdone, and at least for me, I found myself noticing it, instead of the straightforward information it was trying to impart.  But we all speak and write our own way - and to each his own.  None of the criticism here should, in my opinion, deter a purchaser.  This is a very good addition to my own library, and I learned (and will no doubt continue to learn) a lot from it.Once you get into the second section - which is really the meat of the book, the learning ramps up.  Davis does a great job - almost in a "cookbook" formula, of illustrating a number of ways to handle B&W conversion, along with the whys and hows.  He gives - in most instances - a step by step explanation of how he does the processing (mostly in Photoshop) with enough information to see and accomplish the result, without getting into an "in-the-weeds" tutorial on Photoshop.  I like that.  I will get, as he recommends, my Photoshop basics from other sources.I recommend this book and think it is well worth the price.
