Books
'Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers' by Martin Evening.
ISBN - 13: 978-0-240-52028-5.
This book covers all aspects of CS3 (most of it relates to CS2
also) and has a good coverage of all the functions applicable
to photography.
There is a useful DVD with video tutorials and examples of the
methods used, including a very good one on the new Camera RAW
plug in.
'Real World Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop CS2' by Bruce
Fraser.
ISBN 0-321-44991-6.
This
book is devoted entirely to the process of image sharpening.
It explains in great detail why we need to sharpen images as
well as how the process works.
There are explanations of the different methods suggested for
different types of input, such as scanned negatives and digital
camera images.
Also
covered are techniques for sharpening for image content, a soft
flower needs a different approach to, say, an Architectural image
with hard edges.
Finally
it discusses sharpening for the output device, inkjet or offset
printing. The use of image masks, using 'find edges' and highpass
filters are discussed in detail.
These
techniques can be recorded as 'actions' with inserted pauses
to allow the unsharp mask setting to be varied depending on the
image.
