Customer Rating:      Summary: The Bible Comment: Of the many books on Photoshop that I've purchased over the years, this one ranks at or near the top. It's a wonderfully well-written tutorial both for PS CS3 and for restoration and retouching. It's clearly written so that one understands the function of the many PS tools as well as their application. I've been restoring old family photos with Photoshop for years, but yet I learn something new every time I open Fitzgerald's book. It's a good buy for a person of almost any level of competence with Photoshop.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bible Comment: A very usefull book, well written and with a deep analysis of the entire subject. I learnt more from this book then any other.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Photoshop Book for Professional Phographers... Comment: This is easily one of the best Photoshop retouching manuals ever. As a working photographer who enjoys doing his own retouching, I am always on the look-out for any instruction or manual that will make my job easier and workflow smoother. This book has migrated from my Photoshop bookshelf to join only four other books right alongside my monitor on my desk. When I need to address some specific problem that needs to be retouched, this is the first book I reach for.
The author has laid out the chapters in such a logical way, one only needs to look up the issue and go to the section that addresses the specific topic, a huge time-saver. As with Photoshop, there are many ways to correct images and this book presents quite a few new ones, even on techniques I use every day. I especially enjoy the before/after images and I'm sure many will benefit from the step-by-step lessons the author presents in a friendly, conversational way. Also, the "Tip" and "Caution" highlights are very helpful and concise.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to work in PS3 efficiently and profitably. Truly a Photoshop Retouching Bible in every way!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Restoration chapters were not good enough for me. Comment: I felt there could have been much more tips and tricks on restoration of old photographs.
Customer Rating:      Summary: CS3 Made Simple Comment: Having read most of the various Adobe Photoshop Help books, this book Photoshop CS3 Restoration and Retouching by Mark Fitzgerald is hands down the most organized and helpful of them all. His information is never too verbose which is a plus in a world of complex computer jargon.
Anyone, who has read books on this subject will be pleasantly surprised by the wealth of information (and how to use it) that the author has put forth.
