The Digital Negative 2nd edition is shipping!

But, is the PSF created on a generic lens of the type used or is it based on the kind of lens or is it based one 'function fits all'.

Eric would have to answer that for sure but it's my understanding the deconvolution is based on a generic lens blur model.

Jeff, I wonder if you could somehow influence the publisher to release the e-book in the same quality as the previous edition?

I can ask but I'm not sure redoing the ebook would be possible.

Hello Jeff,

many thanks for your answer !

I hope that Eric will read here and give us some additional information. In my opinion, decconvolution sharpening is the much better way than increasing the edge-contrast as done by any other way.

That would be great, though I also recognized that all images in the first 3 chapter - and so I assume in the following chapter as well, are a little unsharp and blurry. The strange thing is that it applies just to the images, not to the screenshots made from Lightroom or ACR, they are tacksharp.

Ah, I'm talking about the Kindle ebook.

As of 9/14 it is not yet listed on Barnes and Noble.  Too bad.  I guess I will have to wait.

I don't know guys - bought it directly from PeachPit on their Labor Day special and received the book 3 days later! Great book to skim around in and study when specific problems/issues come up for Jeff's take.

Agreed! Both the hardcover and the e-versions arrived really quick from PeachPit, and they were well worth a much longer wait.

I am informed by Amazon that my copy of the Digital Negative should arrive this Wednesday (Sept 16). This is in Illinois USA. Are you in a different country?

Is there a post or article somewhere describing the improvements in the 2nd edition over the 1st?

Nope...the last edition was based on LR 4 and I think PS CS6. So, I've updated the book to cover all of the new features since then. Also some new images. Chapter 1, 2 & 6 are essentially the same.
