4.0 out of 5 stars more alternative process than hand coloring, March 14, 2005

By	~R~ (NOLA) - See all my reviews

This is a book for those looking for different ways to use color in photography rather than simply coloring a print. Hand coloring is not focused on as much as I would have expected but it is a good book for those wanting recipes for alternative processes. There are also many inspiring photos.
