Digital imaging technology has been used in forensics since at least 1992, yet until now there?has been?no practical instruction available to address the unique issues of image processing in an everyday forensic environment. Photoshop CS3 for Forensics Professionals serves the everyday, real-world needs of law enforcement and legal personnel dealing with digital images (including both photos and video stills). This book is an excellent tool for:

Law enforcement personnel, from crime scene and arson investigators, detectives, and patrol officers to forensic photographers, fingerprint examiners, video analysts, tool mark and footwear examiners, and criminalists.

Security pros in such fields as private investigation, insurance, fraud detection, and loss prevention.

Scientific and technical users of Photoshop with workflows similar to law enforcement, such as medical photographers, research imaging experts, engineering and architecture staff, and industrial photographers.

Staff responsible for maintaining a photo archive or printing images for court.

Photoshop CS3 for Forensics Professionals is the only book to provide forensics professionals with specific answers to their imaging questions. This is the perfect resource for those who want to move from simple theory to the essential skills needed to be more effective. This resource is dividied into three parts:

Part I: The Essentials is about setting up your workflow, archiving your images, and familiarizing yourself with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge, including the setting up of preferences. Also covered are the best practices in writing reports and providing courtroom testimony.

Part II: The Digital Darkroom teaches how to use Photoshop to accomplish what traditionally was done in the darkroom, from correcting color casts to making prints and exhibits for courtroom use.

Part III: Image Analysis & Enhancement covers techniques for clarifying images so that details can be better viewed and used for analysis or comparison, from contrast enhancement and pattern removal to even forensic video analysis.

The companion CD-ROM provides sample images��including various accident and crime scenes��you can use to practice the techniques from the book while?following along with the tutorials. It also includes several scripts, plug-ins, and actions so you can work more effectively.

In addition, instructor's materials are available so you can use book in workshops and training seminars.

Review:

Well done

Great resource! Is there another in the offing?

This book both improved my workflow and my abilities to enhance images. The pratical exercises hit home the finer points.

I would compare this book to a "Forensic Photoshop" course costing much more, well done!

Review:

Very Informative and Easy to Read

George Reis has done a fabulous job in the writing of this book. I recently purchased this book and found it not only informative, but easy to read (a far cry from the normal techie manual). This book is a must have for anyone using Adobe Photoshop for image analysis or forensic video analysis. I especially appreciated George's references to CS2 and the changes/improvements with CS3. Thanks for not throwing all of us who are too poor to upgrade to the curb!

Review:

Great Resource

I would list this as a "must have" in your forensic library. George has done a great job at breaking down image processing using PhotoShop CS3 (and other plug-ins) for the type of work we do. He has provided a bunch of useful techniques/processes. The companion CD which comes with the book allows you to reinforce the teaching points with hands on practical exercises. Lots of bang for your buck.

Review:

The only book for Forensic Imaging Professionals

George Reis has written the ultimate guide for anyone looking to improve their knowledge of Forensic Imaging using Adobe Photoshop. It is easy to read and understand. Like George's training class, it is filled with the latest information on Best Practices, Testimony, Proper Settings and how to use Adobe's powerfull program Photoshop CS3 for Forensics. There is plenty here for the experienced professional as well as anyone looking to get started with Forensic Imaging.

Review:

A Must Have for Forensic Imaging!!!

I bought this book recently to add to my library of image processing books. I have been "in the field" for almost ten years now and am always excited to learn new skills. This book will benefit the person just getting into the field as well as the seasoned pro.

The author, George Reis from Imaging Forensics, walks you through many processes using several different image processing techniques. There are side by side comparisons of tools native in Photoshop as well as third party applications.

Also of great importance is the discussion of best practices as well as court room preparation. In addition there is a companion CD included with the book that has some trial software and some very useful scripts.

The price isn't too bad and this book will help out Photoshop users of all levels. I am very happy with the book and am glad I bought it. I rate it a must have for anyone interested in forensic imaging using Photoshop.
