Summary: A must for Photoshop users!
Comment: This is a great book on retouching and restoring photos. It's divided into different parts, each one having tutorials with helpful pictures. The color correction part was helpful for me. I used to use the auto-levels option in Photoshop but now I can adjust the color with much greater control. The other parts of the book are equally well-written and helpful. This book has a lot of tips on how to make your photos and the subjects in them look their best. There are also sections on how to refine skin texture, enhance makeup, and fix dust and scratches in scanned pictures. The accompany website also has many image files that were in the book so you can follow along. This book has really given me a better understanding of Photoshop's many tools.

Summary: A Photoshop book that will help me make money
Comment: I must confess to a long-standing love affair with Photoshop diva Katrin Eismann. Oh, she doesn't even know who I am, and my own wife is very tolerant about it...but there it is. It started the first time I attended one of her seminars at a Photo Marketing Association convention. The presentation answered so many of my own questions about using Photoshop that I wanted to go home with the excellent handout material, study and work for a week, and go back to take the session all over again. Unlike some teachers, Eismann makes the complexities of Photoshop understandable - and fun! Her enthusiasm for the subject is infectious.
Adobe Photoshop is an extraordinarily powerful image manipulation tool, but the learning curve is long and steep. Eismann brings it all into focus. Most Photoshop books don't address my own major concern, the repair and restoration of customers' treasured ancestor portraits. Photoshop Restoration & Retouching is entirely about that. No fancy special effects or creative expression techniques, just step-by-step recipes for making pictures better quickly.
In just the first 10 minutes of reading her book I found one tip that will probably save me three minutes on every photo I scan and manipulate for the rest of my life. At minimum wage, that one alone probably adds up to thousands of dollars. (I have a camera store and a web site for people in the industry)
Eismann's writing style is comfortable and colloquial. She'll guide you, step-by-step, through the restoration or improvement of specific projects that are exactly the sort of projects your customers have been bringing you. There's a supplemental website... from which you can download approximately 60% of the images used in the book. That way you cam work along and learn by doing.
The book's not absolutely perfect as your only guide to using Photoshop. Eismann assumes you already know all the fundamentals, and I'd like to see more about using selection tools. Even so it's a tremendously valuable production tool for anyone specializing in improving photos.

Summary: The Best Book on Photo Retouching & Restoration
Comment: I am so impressed, not only with the instructionally sound methods, Katrin employs to execute restoration and retouch but with the quality of the color reproductions in her book. The printers did a fine job. It is such a pleasure, not to have to "squint" to dicern between the before and after representations, as has been my experience with a few other books on the same subject. I can easily see the improvements and commend her topical choices for the tutorials. I also appreciate that the most of the images used for the easy-to-follow tutorials, are readily available and downloadable from her website. Although the book is a little pricey...it is worth it. In fact, it will make my job, as an instructor of Photoshop much easier this fall. After pouring over several other books Katrin Eismann's was "hands down" or should I say "hands on," the WINNER and will be used for the text in my fall class of "Advanced Photoshop for Photographers."
