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.
