Scientific Imaging With Photoshop: Methods, Measurement, & Output
This is the only reference book for relevant methods in Photoshop specific to scientific researchers. The book also covers the best procedures for capturing and outputting images, as well as how to prepare images for inclusion in Acrobat and PowerPoint documents in easy-to-follow language. The opening section of the book discusses the ethical issues
involved in processing images through Photoshop, which should be the goal in every workgroup, and what must be taught to all students as part of their research training. The book also teaches the best methods for getting great images through a variety of microscopes, and how to set up your computer so that your images are represnted accurately onscreen. Basic image-editing techniques in Photoshop are covered, as well as more advanced techniques of particular interest to scientists. Some of these include stitching images together, correcting for uneven illumination, saving a history of processing steps, and removing dust and scratches from images of electrophoretic samples. Separate sections of the book cover taking measurements from samples in Photoshop, separating features of interest from the background of an image, and creating stereo images. The preparation of images for output to a number of different devices, including printers of various types, video, PDF, projectors, and Web sites is also covered. The text also includes flowcharts and tables illustrating procedures and mathematical functions.
