Photoshop
Retouching Handbook
by Carol Braverman

Carol Braverman has brought us such a highly valuable guide to some of the greatest strengths of--and toughest features in--Adobe Photoshop, we decided to invite her for an exclusive DT&G Interview! (See the March edition of DT&G)

... The Retouching Handbook is organized into three sections, all designed to take you from looking at a picture critically to changing it just enough to make it look exactly the way you want. Braverman targets readers who frequently alter photos within strict artistic and/or corporate constraints, as opposed to those who just want to create funky-looking images.
... Explore such core considerations as making selections, using color-correction techniques, fine-tuning gamma settings, and creating good output. But the projects, which build upon one another, do become more complex as you move along.
... The handbook really does a superb job of answering piles of questions that readers send in to "Letters@graphic-design.com." So we know a lot of you will be thrilled with this book. Retouching is one of the most frequent question areas in the &FOTOgraphic department!
... Here you'll find everything from fixing up simple blemishes and correcting color to removing entire elements and creating composite images.
... Be sure to work through the book's projects by using files on the included CD-ROM. This is the best way to learn the craft. The CD-ROM is packed with special utilities and Web programs plus exclusive images from design pioneers. (Worth the price of the book alone!)
... If you really want to get your retouching into high gear, just ask about The Graphic Design Network's upcoming online Photo Retouching Workshop.
