Worth reading to understand Adams' approach, but much of the info in this volume focuses on the printing process itself, which is not as relevant to today's digital photography. Still worth a read along with the previous volumes (The Camera and The Negative) for the historical perspective and learning principles that can be adapted to today's photographic systems.
This is indeed a magnificent book. As another reviewer has mentioned, while the books were written in the pre-digital era, the concepts are timeless
It is an excellent book in the simplicity of the text, the clarity of the instructions, and the manner in which he has analysed the pictures he has made.
Every step is clear, and not a word is wasted.
The principles can be applied even today, and this is what makes it even more brilliant.
A master at his best

Third book in a series of three that describes the process of making a fine art print from a properly exposed negative. Required reading for an intermediate photographer who is learning the Zone System and has finished producing their first parametric curve.
Adams completa su concepto de visualización mostrando cómo el concepto visual inicial puede modificarse y refinarse durante la impresión. Una sección de aplicaciones especiales abarca la impresión de gran volumen, las impresiones de gran formato y la impresión para reproducción.
