The book leads the reader through a practical step-by-step workflow for processing images to correct defects and enhance the details for maximum visibility and presentation, and to isolate features for measurement of structural, object or geometric information in the images, using Adobe Photoshop with free and commercially available plugins. Intended for college students, forensic technicians, research scientists, and others who rely upon images as a source of information, the text includes procedures appropriate for light and electron microscopy, crime scene photographs, surveillance video, and other applications. The author is a retired university professor who has taught thousands of students these methods in a 50-year career, has written several widely used reference and textbooks on the subject, and is frequently called upon as an expert witness. This text is an outgrowth of his teaching, and uses a rich set of example images to illustrate the various algorithms that are described and applied.

John C. Russ is a retired university professor with a background in physics and materials science, and extensive experience with both light and electron microscopy. Analysis of images to characterize materials microstructure led to the early adoption of computers and the development of computer-based image analysis methods, which spread to encompass a broad variety of applications from biology and medicine to machine vision, food science, archaeology, and forensic imaging. In a fifty-year career, Dr. Russ has developed methods and written software, and taught regular academic courses and short courses on these methods to several thousand students on five continents. His numerous books include the widely used "Image Processing Handbook" (now in its sixth edition from CRC Press), as well as applications-oriented books on the use of imaging in food science and forensics, and a textbook on writing image processing software. He is frequently called upon to use his expertise as a consultant and expert witness.
