Product Description

Whether you’re a professional photographer or the family shutterbug, you can’t afford to miss the third edition of the now classic Photoshop Restoration & Retouching. Katrin Eismann and co-author Wayne Palmer have reviewed, updated, and revised every single technique to address the most important features in Adobe Photoshop CS2.

With new example images illustrating the tutorials, Photoshop Restoration & Retouching,

• Enhance portraits by removing blemishes, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing eyes, lips, and hair, while maintaining the subject’s essential character
• Apply the secrets that the top retouchers in the glamour and beauty industry use to perfect skin, make-up, and hair

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Few Books Covering Restpration, January 7, 2006
Photograph retouching has long been a process where a picture has been improved to remove the background, clean up a bad light reflection or other faults with the picture. And this book does an excellent job of telling you how to retouch such pictures.

More important, though is the sections in this book on photo restoration. How do you take the old picture of that Civil War ancestor, or that snapshot of Grandmother when she was a young girl and make it look like a portrait that just came out of the camera today.

Although the book is very good on retouching, there simply aren't that many books on restoration. And Ms. Eisman is a master at restoring old images. In this book there are full-color, step-by-step examples of rescuing heirloom originals suffering from mold, cracks, torn edges, scratches. There is even a section on restoring missing parts of an image. Such as using a person's right arm to replace the left that had been torn off.

Besides the coverage of areas not usually seen, this book further has a writing style that clearly and succinctly explains each step in the process. This book is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must-have in your Photoshop library, January 12, 2007
By Jerry Saperstein (Evanston, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Whether you plan to do any retouching or restoration of photos in Photoshop is immaterial: you still should have this book in your Photoshop library.

Why?

Because Katrin Eismann is not only a true master of Photoshop, but she is that rarity of rarities: a teacher who can teach through the written word - and in this case, a ton of illustrations.

This is truly a Photoshop master's class between covers. It is not for the beginner - Eismann wisely leaves that for others. You should definitely know the basics of Photoshop for cracking this book open.

But once you begin, you are in for a treat: ten chapters that cover everything you need to know about retouching and restoration in detail. Best of all, every technique Eismann teaches in this book will make you a more proficient Photoshop user, no matter what you use the program for.

Unlike other authors, Eismann doesn't simply get you going and then leave you hanging. Her lessons are complete. And Eismann - happily - doesn't try to be a comedian like Scott Kelby, Deke McClelland and Russell Brown. Her writing style is clear, concise and natural and a delight to read.

Buy this and her book on masking and compositing along with Lee Varis's book called "Skin" and Steve Caplain's book on photo montage and you'll have the basis for a truly fine education in the art of Photoshop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even Better Than Before, January 1, 2006
By Stella Nemeth (Macungie, PA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I own the first version of this book. It was the first Photoshop book that I bought and was simply amazing.

I bought the third version because there have been several upgrades to Photoshop since the first version was written. It is hard to believe that this version could be even better than the earlier one, but it is. It has been totally rewritten. All of the photos that are used as samples are different from those used before. The book is longer. The quality of information available in the book is stronger and deeper. It is worth every penny.
