'Digital Retouching for Fashion Beauty and Portrait Photography, Photoshop CS3'
This is a 190-page digital retouching e-book manual on top-notch fashion and beauty retouching. The step-by-step tutorials are perfect for photographers and retouchers. This is not just a technical book. It offers advice on the visual aspects digital enhancement, and most of the images are from published jobs. It's well designed, easy to follow and refreshingly logical; letting the images and tutorials do the talking. The PDF format has quick links to subject references, and tools for zooming in to examine the images in detail. The CS4 edition of the book will be released end of April 2009.
'Essential Color Optimization, Photoshop CS3'
More than just a Photoshop colour adjustment guide, it takes you under the bonnet of the professional colour tools, such as Curves, Selective Color, Channelmixer, and gives you a new perspective on what these can do for you. The tutorials are based on the most typical and common challenges we face when adjusting color – using editable adjustment layers and Camera Raw processing for superior quality and full editability.
'Essential Color Management'
This is a short book that simplifies the practical aspects of user-end colour management, without dummifying it. It doesn't train you to become a colour management expert, but it helps photographers navigate all the possible pitfalls. It's aimed at professional image-makers who need to deliver high-standard images for reproduction, and be confident that their workflow follows good industry practice, revealing what lies behind the industry jargon, and clarifying the different specifications and definitions.
