Customer Reviews

Shallow coverage - Maybe okay for beginners
I have to agree with R. Chester's review. I found the book to be very shallow, almost like the authors were intentionally holding back information so as to not arm their competitors. For example, on page 92, under the heading of PHOTOSHOP TECHNIQUE, there is an interesting picture of a bride, groom and a young child standing on a bridge. Very nice, but no technique is supplied. The authors refer you to page 117 for more on this image but alas, no technique there either.

I bought the book to generate some ideas as I'm new to portrait post processing. I learned a little about vignettes, converting to black and white, selective coloring, all very basic stuff. I found better info by doing a search on the web and perusing tutorial sites.

read in 15 minutes
this publisher has a habbit of using the same pictures and tachniques in a number of books and then re packaging for a different audience. I read the book in no time and lernt nothing I'll probarlly never pick it up again

Excellent book for wedding photographers
Rick and Deborah Ferro have created a wonderful book showing how to best utilize Adobe Photoshop as a wedding photographer. Being practicing wedding photographers, they were able to highlight the important aspects of this complicated program and leave out some applications that you would never use.

As with all of their books, the images are first class and inspirational. It is well worth the money
