The work that follows the capture of a photographic image - the workflow in the digital darkroom - has a significant effect on the quality of the final image. This workflow is often underestimated and neglected, leading to weak images and poorly managed image collections. The Digital Photography Workflow Handbook will help you avoid crucial mistakes as you master the craft of photographic post-processing.
This book provides a step-by-step guide through the photographic workflow, from image capture, editing, and asset management, all the way to the perfect photographic print. The workflow presented in this book focuses on RAW images, which will give you maximum quality and flexibility, and is based on two of the most popular and powerful software tools: Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
The Digital Photography Workflow Handbook can be used as a reference of textbook by both aspiring amateur and professional photographers, as well as by students.

While titled as a book that emphasizes photography workflow, this book might be better characterized as an introduction to raw image processing using Photoshop. There are also brief sections on using "All-in-One Workflow tools Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom, but the main focus of the book is digital dark room exercises using Photoshop. Those who use Elements or other image processing software may have to search through menu commands in those programs to execute functions equivalent to those in Photoshop. Some image editing tools discussed in the book will probably not be available if you're not using Photoshop.
For these authors, "workflow" is the digital darkroom processing that creates a presentation quality image from a raw captured image.
This is not a book on photo composition. While there are many digital photos in the book, they are used as examples in image manipulation within Photoshop. To gain the maximum value from this book, it should be used with your raw images on your computer that has Photoshop installed. The descriptions of workflow within Photoshop are applicable for versions CS2-CS5, though less "translation" will need to be done for CS4 and CS5.
There are some additional topics covered:
Color Management
Multishot techniques including stitching, increasing depth of field, and increasing dynamic range
Turning color into black and white
Printing
Data management and backup
These additional topics are lightly covered, and for the interested reader, a book that focuses on just that topic might be a better choice
The backup section is fairly complete, and emphasizes the importance of off-site backups.
THIS is a BOOK. Not book, as in the sense of a small, quickly read work, but one that deserves attention and concentration to understand fully what it is teaching you. I was impressed initially by the weight of the package it arrived in, and even more so when I opened it and saw it for the first time.
It is beautifully constructed...hardbound, with high quality papers and printing throughout. And HEAVY...it weighs in at a whopping 552 pages, and just under 4 pounds. Definitely want to keep your toes out from under it if you should drop it...
Authors Jurgen Gulbens and Uwe Steinmueller have set out via this volume, to teach you the fundamentals of the digital imaging workflow, from input to output.
Organized into 13 chapters, they do an excellent job of it.
Chapter topics include:
1. Introducing the Digital Workflow
2. The Basic Workflow
3. Color Management Know-how
4. Image Processing Basics
5. RAW Editing and conversion
6. All-in-one Workflow Tools
7. Photoshop Layers
8. Advanced Photoshop Techniques
9. Multi-shot Techniques
10. Turning Color into Black and White
11. Printing and Image Presentation
12. Useful Photoshop Plug-ins
13. Data Management and Backup
An appendix and detailed index round out the contents.
Most of the time, it takes a lot to impress me. And this is one of those times. If you want to know the digital imaging workflow from start to end, this is the book to turn to.
As noted, it is divided into thirteen chapters, each of which covers a certain technique in detail.
