If you're having a tough time editing the photos you take underwater, and the How-To's around the Web aren't sufficient, then maybe it's time to step it up a notch. Maybe Jack and Sue Drafahl's recently published Adobe Photoshop for Underwater Photographers is for you.

Featuring 100 photos and 120 screenshots, this 224-page handbook walks users through the steps of correcting imperfect underwater images. Featuring tips on hardware, monitor calibration, and room lighting, the guide also offers step-by-step instructions on how to group underwater images for editing; approach corrections for images that require a multi-step enhancement process; and choose the right output options for printed images, video, slide shows, and Web viewing. The book isn't a Photoshop tutorial, though, so if you're completely unfamiliar with that software, you may need to grab a primer on that first.

The book is available through the Drafahl's website for $35 (signed) or on Amazon for around $27 (unsigned).
