Excellent Photoshop Book for Professional Phographers..., July 29, 2008
By Brian McLernon
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!



Restoration chapters were not good enough for me., July 3, 2008

I felt there could have been much more tips and tricks on restoration of old photographs.



CS3 Made Simple, June 1, 2008
By Stephen Anderson (New York City)
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.

This book is more than just a restoration and retouching. Mark Fitzgerald has included the basics of photoshop in a clear and easy to understand way. The book is easy to navigate and find answers to your questions. One of his suggestions saved me hours of work. I highly recommend this book, it is a must have in anyone's photoshop library!
