I have purchased a number of books on the subject but find that his book is just a great introduction to all the features that make Photoshop a powerful tool for photographers. It covers in plain English the various features within Photoshop and does a particularly good job of explaining layers. Layers is the building block of Photoshop and many other writers skip the initial important information in a desire to get you into the powerful actions that can be done in layers. This author gives you everything from the basics on through the more sophisticated concepts. This is not a book on the latest bells and whistles contained within Photoshop but rather is a nuts and bolts approach to all the features in Photoshop and how to use them.I have had a number of issues that I found challenging in Photoshop which he cleared up in the text. An example of this was his comments on un-checking the "open documents as tabs" section in the preference box. This saves you a step from having to do this within the menu options and is a time saving tip in working with layers.I particularly like his sections on adjustment layers and how to utilize them to fix problem areas in a photograph. Almost everyone has a photo that they like which needs some lightening in the foreground or detail extraction in the background. This book goes into detail on how to correct these problems in a photo and end up with a final product that looks exception.I am not a fan of all his photos in this book. To my taste many of them are a bit over "Photoshopped". However since the techniques are outlined in detailed instruction, you can adjust the techniques to suit your taste as a photographer.The book is a wealth of information for individuals struggling with layers, adjustment layers, camera raw, blending modes, masking and compositing techniques. You would spend a lot more money than this to attend seminars only to come back from them and forget the manner in which to conduct actions within Photoshop. If you work through the book slowly, you will most likely receive the answers you have to operating all the basic functions within Photoshop.For all the iPhone photo lovers out there, he has a section addressed to turning your cell photos into a work of art. I think this is fun and a good way to keep yourself as a photographer involved in "self-assignments" to work on your craft daily.The book might be a bit better if there were some photos that people could download from a website to practice with in order to achieve the end photo result as shown in the book. However, you can master the techniques by utilizing your own photos.If you invest in the book and then invest in the time to read slowly through the book and try all the actions he is describing in the text, you will be less frustrated with Photoshop and realize the true power of Photoshop as a program and a photographic tool. If you are a wiz with Photoshop, this book will probably not help you. If you are a self-taught beginner and struggling to learn all the functions in Photoshop, this is your book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Photoshop how-to that works *by V***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020* Davis is a creative photographer who has taken some wonderful pictures, but his biggest contribution to the rest of us is the clarity and usefulness of his Photoshop instruction. He hasn't written another substitute manual, rather he's produced a book that shows us how to achieve some of the results he has, including the work he's done in developing what might be called his own subgenre, light table photography. He suggests how to capture the kind of images be uses in his innovative work, but the focus is strictly on post-production, as the subtitle of this book makes clear. Pursue this book and you'll come away with fresh approaches and the Photohop know-how to make them happen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instructional and Inspiring *by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2013* Harold Davis is as excellent at writing as he is at making images. It will take me some time to work through this book as it is designed to be lessons by example. I think this would be a great book for learning and understanding layers, not everything about layers but a very good foundation. Mr. Davis approaches this subject with the mind set of visualizing the concept as much as the technical instruction. His notes are very detailed so there's little guessing as to what he did but you're encouraged to think in simple simple terms that will help you not only in post production but in thinking about the images you're making 'for' post production.It's also very inspiring to see how Mr. Davis makes such amazing images from simple subjects. I'm left constantly wondering how many things I've walked by in my normal life and not seen.This is my second book by Harold Davis, his Creating HDR Photos book is also one of the best I've encountered on the subject. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8702976-the-way-of-the-digital-photographer-walking-the-photoshop-post](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8702976-the-way-of-the-digital-photographer-walking-the-photoshop-post) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
