Registered 20 years agoI read Practical Photography because, althogh they're revamped it to include more about digital photography, it's not just about how to use Photoshop each week.
Plus it has some really horny pics. Of trees and stuff. -
Heh, I buy quiet a few:
Popular Photography (US) It's an ok mag but the subscription is VERY reasonable.
Photography Monthly (UK) Great publication, highly recommended!
Black & White Photography (UK) I buy it from time to time, classy mag.
Digital Photographer (UK) It is the best digital only magazine by far.
Amateur Photographer (UK) Oldest Photography magazine in the world, it's a decent read.
Then there are the magazines for professionals which I occasionally buy. -

heh, that's kinda true. i remember flicking through some photography book in smiths as a yoof and having some random dad-type beside me saying "i think that's a bit too old for you sonny." and me thinking "screw you old bloke. this is t3h r0xX0rs."
Actually with many, even most, photography mags you can be hard put to spot the difference with a porn mag.
'cept obviously back then the term t3h r0xX0rs was even more meaningless than it is now. but, you know, something like that. -
There are some photography magazines that aren't disguised soft porn mags! A lot of amateur photographers are more interested in the technology and gadgets than the actual art of taking a good photo. The magazines will lots of nudie girls appeals to that market. -
is you're wife into photography?

I'm an avid user of Photoshop, but could really do with a reference manual and something that would teach me new techniques etc. Can this book be used as such, or does it have to be read cover to cover?

I tried it and it seemed a bit light on specifics, unless you really wanted to make your own dark room. Mind you, I suppose it is a weekly mag.

Registered 20 years agoPersonally, I prefer the French magazines. Réponses Photo and, especially, Chasseur d'Images. They do give digital tips but also cover film photography. British magazines are ok and I never liked the lay-out of American ones (the way articles start on page 23 and end on page 147 annoys the hell out of me; and 50 pages of ads for New York stores doesn't help either). Anyway, all these magazines tend to be slightly repetitive ("How to make breathtaking landscapes", "Improve your portraits", "Photographing children",...). Only, nowadays, all articles come with the word digital squeezed in somewhere in the title... .gif)
Edit: re-reading the post, it seems nothing satisfies me anymore. Getting soooooooooooooooo old...

I've been trying out a few of the digital photography mags. Some of the reader pics can be quite inspiring and I find the expert tips both on shooting and on processing very useful. But there's a bewildering selection available, and they're very hard to tell apart. They're all called 'Digital Photographer' or 'Digital Photography' of some variation on those two words.
Anyone got any preferences? Of the three or four I've tried so far, Digital Photographer seemed the best by far, while one called 'Digital Photography Techniques' that I picked up by mistake (didn't see the "techniques" that they'd slipped in there cheekily) was bloody awful. -

Hard put. Hard. Geddit?

Deke's Photoshop Bible. I've got the PS7 one. Certainly you can dip into it here and there, not reading it cover to cover, I certainly haven't, it'd take years. It's great for really understanding what it is that the various options in Photoshop do, and there are plenty of tips hidden away in there as well, though its primary use is as a reference manual for the various tools and features.
