The expanded 260-page Photoshop CS4 edition of this beauty retouching book is even more comprehensive than the first – written by a working retoucher who also enjoys communicating the skills through writing and teaching. 260 pages of tutorials presented as solutions to a range of cosmetic pixel problems. It has the feel of a good cookbook, using high-quality images to inspire and guide you. The tutorials are tried and tested in a professional workflow, and the same methods were used creating the illustrations. This CS4 edition has a new section for the image as a whole, as well as a handful of complete workflow case studies. It adresses all the changes in CS4, integrating new ways of working and avoiding potential CS4 pitfalls. The e-book was originally conceived as a working tool for professional photographers and has proved to be a good source of new ideas and methods for digital operators, retouchers and graphic designers. The tutorials are presented as step-by-step recipes, also explaining the thinking behind the method. There are plenty of tricks, but the emphasis is on developing good technique and skills whilst keeping the retouching subtle and editable. Although it’s by no means a beginners’ book, there’s enough detail for inexperienced Photoshop users, while the more advanced users can fast-track skim the bold text and headings.
This book comes with various resources: 30 training images, Photoshop Actions, and Tool Presets to download from the resource site.
