Great CD, so-so book,

This review is from: Artist's Digital Photo Reference - Landscapes (Hardcover-spiral)
The CD that comes with this book is great. It has lots of hi-res photos, organized by category. I was less impressed with the example projects in the book. Load these photos into Photoshop, and go crazy!

Perfect for Oil Painting,

This review is from: Artist's Digital Photo Reference - Landscapes (Hardcover-spiral)
This book/photo media is perfect to create oil paintings. Included in this book is a handful (various media) demonstration as well. The ability to use these files as detail reference is wonderful.I send the files to be printed to scale of my painting by sending a quick photo file to Walmart or where ever and printing LARGER. Therefore my source material and canvas are the same dimensions. This helps me proportionally and allows me to PAINT... and tinker with moods, details, and color palette. WOW, this is a great tool for many types of artists. And then I tuck the source photo behind the canvas itself so that at a later date, I can always review my interpretation of the scene. WOW, a great tool. I have been able to focus on my craft...

Disappointed,

This review is from: Artist's Digital Photo Reference - Landscapes (Hardcover-spiral)
Like one other reviewer said, the photos on the cd included with this book may be fun to play with in photo shop. However, unlike this reviewer claims, none of these photos are hi-res. I may be able to use a small amount of the photos as actual reference in terms of art but certainly not for anything detailed. And the book IS just "so-so." The information in the book is very basic and no use to anyone above a basic beginner in art. Overall, I could have done without this purchase.
