Photoshop CS3 for Forensics Professionals: A Complete Digital Imaging Course for Investigators is a book containing a complete course that addresses the unique issues of image processing in an everyday forensic environment.
It’s a 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.
It can also be useful to security pros in such fields as private investigation, insurance, fraud detection, and loss prevention, as well as 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.
The book is authored by George Reis (Fountain Valley, Calif.) whose company, Imaging Forensics provides training and consulting services in photography, image analysis, and digital imaging. He worked for the Newport Beach Police Department for fifteen years as a forensic photographer and crime scene investigator, and introduced that agency to digital imaging in 1992.
Photoshop CS3 for Forensics Professionals is available from Research and Markets for €57 or about $80 U.S. Amazon.com offers the book at about half that.
