Product Description
Product Description
Follow Adobe Certified Photoshop Expert Mark Fitzgerald as he guides you through the restoration and retouching workflows. Begin by learning about basic concepts, such as proper tonal and color adjustment, selections, and masking. Then learn to master Photoshop’s retouching tools, like the Healing Brush, Patch Tool, and Clone Stamp. After you build a solid foundation, you’ll see how these tools and techniques come together to solve a wide range of restoration and retouching problems; from repairing a damaged print to removing braces and repairing glass glares.
Explore the tools and techniques with step–by–step expert instructions for downloadable practice files. Experience the total workflow as you complete three projects along side Mark from start to finish: a restoration project, a portrait retouching project, and an architectural retouching project.
This book is an update to Mark Fitzgerald’s popular book, Adobe Photoshop CS3 Restoration and Retouching Bible.
From the Back Cover
Restoration returns a faded or damaged photo to its original perfection. Retouching transforms an image into something more than it was. While the goals may be different, the best tool to achieve either objective is the same — Photoshop CS5. This book covers every step in both processes, from managing your files with Adobe Bridge to fine–tuning with Photoshop′s powerful refining tools. Enhance your Photoshop skills as well as your images.
Deepen your knowledge of editing fundamentals —tonality, color management, color correction, and working with layers
Assess the damage to a photo and repair tears, stains, and missing pieces
Work effectively with black–and–white images
Retouch portraits to eliminate braces, blemishes, wrinkled clothing, and even remove glares on eyeglasses
Discover how to enhance architectural photos with appropriate retouching
Companion Web site

I suppose because i have used Photoshop since version 4 in a proffesional capacity both as a photographer and re-toucher that i have long since absorbed the relevant information on System setup, backup and archiving, Colour management etc, consequently the chapters in the book that explained these fundamentals were for me personally redundant, however to be fair to the author he does write in his introduction that the book is not necessarily for the "accomplished Photoshop user" in which case these sections are relevant and useful.
In all honesty i would not recommend this book to advanced users of Photoshop as i feel they will find themselves "skipping" large sections of the book to isolate the odd bit of informtaion here and there. Again in defence of the Author he does not market this book towards advanced users. It is a book that i would recommend to beginers and intermediate users who might not have covered restoration and repair in any great detail previously. It is well written and the information is clear and understandable with good clear illustration.
From a personal perspective for anyone reading this review who might be interested in a title that i feel meets the needs of intermediate-advanced users might i recomend "Photoshop restoration & retouching" by Katrin Eismann.
