This book promises to enable the photographer to use Photoshop to not only enhance his or her photos, but create entirely new landscapes by integrating other images, creating "weather" that wasn't there at the time of shooting, etc., etc.
This could be an invaluable book if the results were credible-looking. Unfortunately, they aren't, with the final images looking much like something out of a computer-graphics-heavy fantasy epic movie from around a decade or more ago. Impressive just on the basis of effort, but still obviously fake. And while there may be enough of a willing suspension of disbelief for an audience watching "Beast Tamer XIV: The Final Battle," when it comes to a still photograph that can be lingered over, "kind of close (but not really)" just doesn't cut it.

Overall I found this book to be helpful. It covers a wide range of techniques that should come in handy at some point. I had a few complaints however. Many of the techniques were useless/cheesy although they may be worth learning for a purely educational purpose. The process isn't always clear, and it reads like a list rather than explaining some of the problems you may experience on a wide range of photos. Some of the tips could also be broken down into a paragraph when in fact they cover a few pages. I'd say it's best for people that want to learn a few tricks using photoshop and have minimal experience with the program.
