You might not think that automation and creativity go hand in hand, but sometimes they do. By automating tasks where appropriate in Photoshop, you can streamline your workflow and free up time to work on the artistic aspects of photography. In this workshop from Photoshop expert Tim Grey, you’ll start by learning core automation concepts and using basic automation tools to process multiple images quickly and easily. Next, you’ll explore actions, an incredibly powerful tool for processing one or more images in a consistent way. You’ll see how actions let you apply creative effects consistently to your images and prepare images for sharing. Finally, you’ll work through a variety of real-world projects that reinforce what you’ve learned and demonstrate some of the many ways you can employ automation in your own workflow.
Automation can never completely replace the artistic control you want to employ with your photographic images, but it can help supplement your workflow and streamline many of your efforts. In this workshop you’ll learn the concepts behind automation in Photoshop and techniques for applying automation to your work.

Since the advent of digital photography, we have been able to post-process our pictures. However, to do it properly, we have to become digital art apprentices. Sebastian Montabone is a computer vision expert who wants us to use our cameras and image processing software to come up with works of art. In this book, he teaches image processing techniques of ascending difficulty based on freely available tools. The book teaches you to use the best tools for the job, and it focuses on the techniques, not the environments or toolchains in which they run. Also in this book, you'€™ll learn about the Canon Hack Development Kit (CHDK), which expands the features of some cameras.
