Description: While
Adobe Photoshop has long been their choice for editing digital photographs, many
photographers want a more focused tool. That’s where Adobe Photoshop Lightroom comes in. Designed from the ground up with digital photographers in mind, Photoshop Lightroom offers powerful editing features in a streamlined interface that lets
photographers import, sort, and organize images. This completely updated and expanded bestseller, The
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book, was also written with
photographers
in mind. Author Martin Evening describes features in Photoshop
Lightroom 2 in detail from a photographer’s perspective. As an
established commercial and fashion photographer, Martin knows
first-hand what
photographers
need for an efficient workflow. He has also been working with Lightroom
from the beginning, monitoring the product’s development and providing
feedback on the public beta. As a result, Martin knows the software
inside and out, from image selection to image editing to image
management.
The
Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom 2 Book contains 624 pages of comprehensive and detailed
coverage of all aspects of Lightroom. In this book you’ll learn how to:
• Work efficiently with images shot in the raw or JPEG format
• Import photographs with ease and sort them according to your workflow
• Create and manage a personal image library
• Apply tonal adjustments to multiple images quickly
• Integrate Photoshop Lightroom with
Adobe Photoshop
• Export images for print or Web as digital contact sheets or personal
portfolios
The book structure has been organized to match a typical Lightroom
workflow. The introductory chapter provides an overview of all the main
Lightroom features, showing how Lightroom 2 was used on a studio photo
shoot that was specially shot to illustrate the book. The following
chapters cover all the essentials, such as importing photos, working
with the Library module, and managing the catalog database. The biggest
section of the book is devoted to working with the Develop module and
provides some unique insights into working with new features such as
the localized adjustment tools. There is also a whole chapter devoted
to image sharpening and another on integrating Lightroom and Photoshop,
where you will learn how to devise the best workflow methods for
working between these two programs. This is followed by a chapter on
printing and a presentation chapter on the Slideshow and Web modules.
Lastly, there are two appendix chapters. One offers a complete overview
of the Lightroom 2 preference settings, while the other provides some
in-depth explanations and background reading on how the Lightroom
program works.
The book is richly illustrated, mostly using the author’s own
photographs, and one of the nice features of this book is the way
enlarged panel views are used throughout, making it easier for readers
to follow the settings used in the various step-by-step examples. There
are also lots of tips that will help you take your Lightroom techniques
to an advanced level.
If you are looking for the most comprehensive coverage of Lightroom,
written by an author who is closely involved with the development of
the program, this is the book to get.

E-Business is on the rise, but so are the likelihood and severity of
computer attacks. Melissa, the Love Bug, Nimda, and Reezak all caught

Enterprise Security:
The Manager's Defense Guide is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art
handbook for harnessing e-Business security. It examines the most
recent attack strategies and offers specific techniques for combating
attempts at data infiltration, destruction, and denial-of-service
attacks. Understanding that security must be incorporated within
multiple levels of e-Business technology and practice, the author
presents measures for securing your system platform, applications,
operating environment, processes, and communication links. He explains
how the traditional security technologies of firewalls and virtual
private networks (VPNs) can be integrated with risk management,
vulnerability assessment, intrusion detection, and content management
for a comprehensive security plan.
You will find in-depth coverage of such topics as:
* The goals and sophisticated tools of today's hackers
* The advantages and shortcomings of firewalls and VPNs
* Incorporating security into application development
* TCP/IP attacks, including SYN Flood and Land attacks
* Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks
* ICMP directed broadcast and Smurf bandwidth attacks
* The Bubble Boy virus
* JavaScript attacks
* Adding TCP Wrappers and security in layers
* Guidelines for vulnerability assessment and risk management
Several informative appendixes enumerate the top twenty enterprise
vulnerabilities, provide an incident response form, discuss how to
harden the often targeted Windows 2000 operating system, and examine denial-of-service attacks in depth.
Featuring the latest in attack technology and defenses, this book is an
invaluable resource for IT managers and professionals who must remain a step ahead of the enemy in the ongoing security arms race.
