The Dark Art

A Black and White Digital Printing Workshop Manual

Hurrah, a big box of new “The Dark Art” books arrived from the printers today. Spruce up your digital black and white printing skills in Photoshop or Lightroom.

Here is an initial book review

“I have a huge book collection, and I like books to ‘feel’ right’. My initial reaction is that it looks and feels an excellent workbook with good quality images and a very clear layout. The spiral binding allows me to have it flat without risking damaging the spine which can happen.” Dennis Jeffery
