afford to miss the third edition of the now classic Photoshop Restoration &
Retouching. Katrin Eismann and co-author Wayne Palmer have reviewed, updated,

• Correct extreme exposure errors and improve color, contrast, and tone
• Rescue heirloom originals suffering from mold damage, cracks, and torn edges
-- even replace missing image
information

• Transform your photos into beautiful, original works of art by converting
them to black-and-white or tinted images

add life and sparkle to digital photos

eyes, lips, and hair, while maintaining the subject's essential character

An Invaluable Resource
Concisely written yet not a dry or tedious presentation of Photoshop techniques. This is not a 'follow these steps and settings then magic will happen' book that typifies many so called Photoshop help books. The authors present various issues and then describe techniques to handle the problems/tasks. They studiously avoid giving specific settings to deal with problems as they recognize that each problem is unique. Instead they allow the reader to learn the techniques involved to handle an issue, letting the reader decide what the best individual settings are on a per task basis. There are no 'magic bullets' here. The book is designed as a learning tool and fulfills that function extremely well with a minimum of fluff.
