BLACK AND WHITE PIPELINE

THE FOURTH IN TED DILLARD'S "PIPELINE" SERIES - CUTTING-EDGE BOOKS THAT DETAIL DIGITAL IMAGING IN THE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP DARKROOM - EXPLORES THE MOST POPULAR, TIME-HONOURED PHOTOGRAPHIC FORM OF EXPRESSION THE BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPH. DILLARD EXAMINES ANSEL ADAMS' LEGENDARY ZONE SYSTEM AS THE FOUNDATION OF BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY AND APPLIES THESE TRIED-AND-TRUE FUNDAMENTALS TO THE POWERFUL IMAGING TOOLS AVAILABLE IN ADOBE CAMERA RAW. ABOVE ALL, DILLARD CREATES AN INTUITIVE AND STREAMLINED WORKFLOW THAT TAKES THE PHOTOGRAPHER FROM CAPTURE TO PRINT WHILE CREATING THE HIGHEST-QUALITY DIGITAL IMAGE. THIS PROVIDES THE FRAMEWORK BEGINNING DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHERS NEED TO CREATE THE KIND OF BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOS THEY ENVISION.
