5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet, November 9, 2003

Ms J T R of Ca (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Photographer's Toning Book: The Definitive Guide (Paperback)

The best Rudman book yet and by far the best available on Toning. At last a toning book that takes me both wide and deep, with beautiful pictures into the bargain.

I agree with the photoeye review - this is definately one of the best technical photo books I have seen. It is easy to read and yet tells all (unlike so many!!)

I love the way it teaches at different levels from novice to expert - why can't all teaching books be like this?

A great book

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome book, November 15, 2003

harold keen (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Photographer's Toning Book: The Definitive Guide (Paperback)

I have been printing and toning for quite a few years but have been surprised at what a lot this book still had to teach me!

All other books on this subject that I have read have been sadly short on vital details. This book is a superb exception to this common fault. The information is a model of clarity and easy to understand both for beginners and seasoned printers like me. The images are a great bonus too as they not only instruct but inspire. I am so grateful to this author for this lovely book and the great amount of work that obviously went into it, and for sharing this information in such an unselfish way. An awesome book - thank you.

R. Ellis (Florida USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Photographer's Toning Book: The Definitive Guide (Paperback)

This book provides in depth detail into the toning process without getting too deep into the scientific chemical reactions. It covers many, many types of toning, provides many examples of results, and is very well written. The author covers techniques old and new and provides a number of different formulas in the formulary section at the end of the book for those who are interested in using non-commercially available toners. I found this book to be most useful in both understanding the process and in expanding my toning skills. I can honestly say that this is one of the most useful books on wet process printing that I have ever read.
