Summary: The ultimate source
Comment: This is the ultimate source for learning restoration & retouching taught by a professional educator. Nuf said.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Restoration Book!
Comment: I got this to gain the photoshoping skills to restore glass plate photographs and paper photographs dating from 1900 to 1940 which were damaged from years of storage in an outdoor shed at my grandparent's house. I have used just about every method in this book to restore the photos. It is very well thought out and includes lots of figures to help at going through the tutorials. All images in the book can be downloaded from the book's companion website.
This book covers color correction, overcast, breaks, cuts, scratches, dust, mold, texture, exposure, tone, and more!

Summary: Just the ticket for me.
Comment: Katrin's book is my new bible for retouching and better understanding how the various blend layers work together to restore and improve photographs. Presented in an easy-to-learn, visual format, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in getting the most from Photoshop.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A excellent guide to renovating photos
Comment: After reading the sample chapter they have on their website, I knew I had to get the rest of the book. I wasn't disappointed. If you ever need a book on restoring old photos and have Photoshop this is the book for you. Using techniques in this book has allowed me to get the most out of some photos from my childhood, even some that appeared hopelessly faded.
The book covers the features in Photoshop CS2, but translates very well to Photoshop CS3.
The book's chapters are organized in such a way as to give the reader the building blocks for a restoration and retouching workflow. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject. Starting with color correction, and ending with adding finishing touches.
Pros: Thorough coverage of what is needed to restore and retouch photos. Many tutorials the reader can follow step-by-step using media available on the book's website.
Cons: This book is not for beginners, and assumes the user is experienced with Photoshop. Some techniques will work better if you have a touch sensitive tablet, such as a Wacom tablet.

Summary: Lost Without This Book
Comment: Having been tipped by regulars at the Adobe Photoshop forum and in the process of restoring a whole collection of 10 to 150 year old family pictures, I was eager to obtain this book. It has been everything it claimed to be. As a novice to intermediate user of Photoshop in my first year of experience with it, I feel like I tripled my supply of tips and tricks. Beyond what I learned in the book, I have increased my willingness to tweak, temper, and experiment with the software. Almost all the examples in the book are provided on a website for download, allowing the reader hands on experience with each image. The entire file downloaded in minutes, using cable internet. My only concern so far is that the chapters are not necessarily as descriptive as they could be. It is easier just to flip through looking for something on which you need clarification.
