The RAW file format is the uncompressed data file captured by a digital camera's electronic sensor. When your camera saves an image in RAW format, settings like white balance, sharpening, contrast and saturation are not applied to the image but are saved instead in a separate header. Because RAW files remain virtually untouched by in-camera processing, they are essentially the digital equivalent to exposed but undeveloped film. This makes RAW an increasingly popular format with amateur and professional digital photographers, because it affords greater flexibility and control during the editing process-if you know how to work with RAW files. Most digital camera manufacturers supply their own software for converting RAW data, as do some third party vendors. Increasingly, however, the RAW converter of choice is a plug-in included in the latest version of Adobe Photoshop, the most popular and widely-used digital image editing tool in the world. Adobe Photoshop CS2 is emerging as the best place to edit RAW images, and the best way to master this new format is with Photoshop CS2 RAW. An important book dedicated to working with RAW in Photoshop, this comprehensive guide features a unique design that helps readers grasp the subject through visual instruction and prompts. The entire RAW process is explored, from shooting to using the Adobe plug-in converter and new Bridge navigation software. The primary focus of Photoshop RAW is, as the title suggests, Photoshop editing technique: automating RAW workflow, correcting exposures, extending exposure range, manipulating grayscale and working with the new DNG (Digital Negative) open standard that Adobe supports. Presented by photographer Mikkel Aaland, a pioneer of digital photography and author of eight books, including O"Reilly"s Photoshop for the Web and the award-winning Shooting Digital, Photoshop CS2 RAW investigates and instructs in an accessible visual style. Required reading for professionals and dedicated photo hobbyists alike.

Хороший учебник для самостоятельного изучения распростаненного ныне языка программирования под названием C++ ("си"). В этой книге рассказано о работе со средой визуального программирования Borland C++ Builder. Не зря она называется "Освой самостоятельно за 21 день", т.е. за три недели. Так как эта книга логично разбита на три раздела: 1. Изучение самого языка программирования СИ, 2. Изучение Builderа фирмы Borland, ну и 3. Углубление своих знаний в области программирования на "Cи". Каждый такой раздел включает в себя семь глав (по дням недели).

Книга C++Builder 5. Руководство разработчика состоит из семи частей. Части I и II вошли в первый том, а части с III по VII - в второй. В первых пяти частях материал излагается в порядке возрастания сложности. В них описаны множество технологий, используемых при программировании на языке C++ задач обмена информацией по сети (как локальной, так и глобальной), работе с базами данных, создании распределенных приложений, работающих в среде Web, создании графических приложений на базе OpenGL и распространении/установке программных продуктов. Естественно, что основное внимание уделено средствам поддержки этих технологий, имеющимся в среде C++Builder 5. Последние две части содержат практические рекомендации, описание различных нюансов использования C++Builder, примеры реальных приложений и список рекомендуемые источников информации, касающейся C++Builder.В части I (главы с 1 по 11) содержатся сведения, необходимые для создания приложений общего назначения в среде разработки C++Builder 5. Читатель познакомится с организацией интерфейса пользователя, современными методиками создания программ на C++ , техникой компилирования программ, их оптимизации и отладки , методикой использования компонентов из библиотеки VCL и самостоятельной разработки подобных компонентов.Во части II (главы с 12 по 14) освещаются вопросы программирования обмена информацией по каналам связи с использованием протоколов WebBroker, InternetExpress и XML, технологии работы с базами данных, которая базируется на таких компонентах среды как ADO Express, InterBase Express и Data Module Designer, и программирования Web-приложений.
