Also included are brief discussions of color management, setting up Photoshop, printing, and exposure for digital images. This makes the DZS a powerful tool for converting color images to black and white. The book is richly illustrated with step-by-step screenshots and stunning example images that show the benefits of the Digital Zone System over commonly used digital editing methods. These DZS processes are quicker and simpler than the tedious work of using global adjustments and painting in layer masks to isolate the effects of an adjustment layer.In this book, you will learn how to use the Digital Zone System for editing color images, converting images to black and white, and tone mapping HDR images. The Digital Zone System (DZS) is an innovative methodology for editing digital images that mimics the Zone System created by Adams. Learn to use luminance masks to separate an image into "one-stop" zones of brightness, similar to the zones in Adams's Zone System, that can be worked on individually or in groups. There is an ongoing debate among photographers whether digital photography processes will ever be able to reach the pinnacle of image quality and tonality achieved by Ansel Adams decades ago. You will also gain tremendous control over
Les Sparks said Not really about zone system but about luminance masks. In spite of what the title says, this book is about luminance masks not the zone system. The author provides a set of Photoshop actions to generate a set of masks that cover the various zones of the zone system. In keeping with the ideas of the zone system the masks are s. Marshal Shlafer said Fisher: The DIgital Zone System. So many books on the Zone system, most rightfully targeted on black and white sheet film (where each neg can be exposed AND processed individually to optimize the exposure and print); and most giving an extraordinarily complex description of Adams' methods. Applying the z. "Photo techniques" according to WRD. Interesting photo techniques.
