CS3 DIGITAL RETOUCHING FOR FASHION BEAUTY AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

AN E-BOOK BY GRY GARNESS

First edition of the beauty retouching book aimed at photo professionals – those who either focus entirely on retouching, or photographers who do their own post-production. This inspiring e-book meets the needs of photographers, assistants, digital operators, retouchers, and anyone who produces high-quality people-shots that need to stand up to close scrutiny and large output. It’s sharp, clean and well designed, and the pdf format lets you can zoom in and examine the images in detail. The majority of images in the book have been published as fashion editorials, high-end magazine covers, advertising campaigns and CD-covers.

The e-book is all about transforming good images into stunning images. The book can be read and used like a cookbook, with a mix of in-depth retouching concepts and step-by-step tutorials. The tutorials are advanced, but straightforward, and the book’s 85 tutorials consist of well-proven techniques and the ‘recipes’ have been well tried and tested. Based on Gry’s experience as a Photoshop trainer, the tutorials are suitable for all levels. There’s enough detail for inexperienced users, and at the same time a fast-track way of skimming the text for advanced users. The general emphasis is on making light work of the retouching, by working in a smart and bold way, while still keeping it subtle, realistic and editable!
