Photo Retouching with Adobe Photoshop


by Gwen Lute

This updated manual teaches the specialized techniques needed for correcting photos using the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. With Photoshop, the skilled photographer's ability to retouch photos has become almost limitless. Included are professional techniques aimed specifically at photographers and photo-imaging enthusiasts. Photographers will learn how to restore damaged photographs, correct blemishes, change backgrounds, and add or subtract people from an image.

Important advanced techniques are also covered, including vignettes, important hardware requirements, and managing files. Filled with practical examples, this book teaches everything from input via scanning or digital photography, to image manipulation, to final printed output.

Trilogy

This is one in a trilogy of three attractive, informative books that form an excellent basis for a small library on digital photography. In recent years, digital photography has had a tremendous influence, and as equipment costs -- notably for cameras -- continue to drop, digital imagery will soon completely revolutionize photography. Each of these books will be very helpful for professional and amateur photographers making the transition to digital photography.
