Rarely do I come across a book that really grabs my attention, and with so many photography books out there, it's sometimes difficult to come across one that really approaches a topic that hasn't already been covered. Dan Margulis' "Photoshop LAB Color" is one of those attention-grabbers.
From the first chapter of no-thinking-required effort to make an image pop to advanced color correction and masking, this is the book to read for any advanced amateur or professional photographer.
Although Photoshop CS5 is just around the corner, even this text, which was published in 2005, has a serious place on my bookshelf with tricks and techniques that apply through just about any recent version of Adobe Photoshop.
