Photoshop Restoration & Retouching

DESCRIPTION

Photoshop Restoration and Retouching is a hands-on book for designers,
photographers, commercial illustrators, and artists who seek to make the
best out of the not perfect. The world is full of imperfections, but
rofessionally-prepared images never show those blemishes, cellulite,
poorly reproduced colors, stray hairs or wrinkles.

This book will walk readers through all kinds of repair and correction, including:

Improving contrast and tone
Correcting color, either from a bad original or a bad scan
Removing unwanted elements from photographs
Repairing heirloom originals with problems such as mold spots, cracks, or torn corners
Improving portraits by removing blemishes, removing distracting elements, or replacing closed eyes
Tips and tricks for glamour and fashion photographers

Library Journal

Everyone
has old photographs stored in a shoebox or album. Storing them
electronically allows for the preservation and, in some cases, the
enhancement of these irreplaceable mementos. Both of these works feature
a new angle on Adobe Photoshop training by focusing on retouching.
Although the majority of techniques discussed here are found in every
other Photoshop book (e.g., Carla Rose's SAMS Teach Yourself Adobe
Photoshop 6 in 24 Hours, Computer Media, LJ 4/1/01), both authors do a
good job of walking readers through the process. Kiteley's volume is an
e-book available for Macintosh and PC. It comes only as a CD-ROM in PDF
format and requires Adobe Acrobat to read (a free download from the
Adobe site). Eismann's book is an attractive, paper equivalent of
Kiteley's work, covering almost exactly the same techniques. Pass on
both if you already have a Photoshop title; if not, I prefer the
presentation of Eismann's volume. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business
