What our customer's say!

"Thick book... tiny content", I did read all these great reviews and finally decided to buy this book.
To summarize - its rather disappointing.
Lighting? Not so great on it. Retouching? Beauty retouching technique (yes, no plurals) is pretty much "blur + brush".. With some texture to throw in. Sharpening technique (yes. No plurals again) - well.. not a lot of use - could be better done with LAB space. Most of colour discussion is about RGB space. Excuse me, what happened to CMYK and Lab? Bits about calibration - yes, nice, but not a lot of details. Its almost like someone thought up an idea for book, wrote few chapters then got sick of it, and started to throw in random thoughts and ideas just to fill up space.

I woulnt recommend this book to anyone who ever read Welcome To Oz! or any other decent book on photoshop.

"skin", I'm floored by this book, there are things I never would have thought of! lots to learn and it's going to take a while... I'm really happy that he offers tips for older editions of ps b/c I don't have cs3 but I can still do everything he talks about b/c he explains how to do it with older editions too.... fabulous book, must have!!

"Insightful", I haven't read all the chapters yet, but so far the book has surpassed my expectations. It's easy to understand but aimed at those who want a deeper understanding of photography. I bought it for the purpose of learning more about accurate skin color in digital photography, but the book has much more in content, such as a good chapter on lighting and photographing people.


"Solid but nothing special", I really don't get all the gushing 5-star reviews for this book. Some of the chapters are solid, but its full of filler [the tattoo chapter????], and final images that are frankly embarrassing. Kevin Ames' book [photographing Women] is WAY better [and more interestingly written]. You should also check out Chris Orwig's retouching stuff on lynda.com - also more valuable.

"one of the best", I have worked in a pro photolab for 12 years. Photography and Photoshop are always a main topic in conversations at work.
This book is not an "intro book", if you want to learn photoshop or photography basics, I recommend looking somewhere else (try the digital photography book vol 1 or vol 2 {they're both excellent but different} by the author scott kelby). What this book is, however, is one of the best all around books on intermediate portraiture skills that I've read. It has a broad spectrum of topics all relating to making skin look like you want it.

The book covers:
physical characteristics of digital capture and lighting
positioning of the lights and camera (a couple are a little over the top)
monitor calibration
retouching for flawless skin
other miscellaneous photoshop tricks and techniques

"Very usable", Not the best for those new to Photoshop, and will be difficult for some to follow along with versions of PS older than CS. But packed with tips and tricks to allow you to get the most out of your digital images in the digital darkroom.

"The Best Photoshop Book", I'm photographer and I like to read about the photoshop but this book is one of the best book of It's kind, the book also include the CDROM with example images. Highly recommended.

"The best book on skin retouching", If you do portrait photography, you need this book.

Covers everything from lighting to wrinkles removal using the latest photoshop tools.

Great book.
Well worth it.

Jean

"Essential for all photographers", This book is simply amazing!! I hate reading "how to" books, especially about Photoshop because a) I don't have the patience to read all the verbose technical stuff, and b) find that many other "hone your skills with these helpful tips" publications are too patronizing to any photographer - but this book is concise, clear and actually interesting while being entertaining to read! This book will sure be one of those dog eared/can't live without it books on my shelf!

"Good Techniques for Intermediate PS Users", When I picked up "Skin", I was looking for a more advanced beauty retouching manual. Unfortunately, it wasn't as extensive as I had hoped.

This book is great for intermediate Photoshop users who need to hone their skills in the area of beauty retouching. Advanced users who want an in depth look at all aspects of beauty retouching should keep their eyes out for something else. I still haven't found it.
