Great Book for any Photoshop User's Library Aug 12, 2010
This book is a little old, now, but the techniques will live on. I highly recommend this book for anyone serious about restoring old photos and retouching new ones. I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor and use this book to teach an advanced Photoshop class. Katrin has all kinds of crazy techniques that you will never come with on your own - I have no idea how she did! Many of her techniques will be things you will refer back to later and many you will be able to incorporate into your workflow. This book is not for beginners. You should have a good understanding of how to use Photoshop and some experience using it. Restoration is a long tedious process, there are no shortcuts.

 **** Warning **** Not for beginners!!! May 14, 2010
As always, Katrin Eismann delivers. Her Photoshop books and videos are the best bar none. She tackles on the most challenging subjects, like how to fix old color photos and how to make skin look perfect, without looking fake. I have bought countless books on the subject such as Skin: The Complete Guide to Digitally Lighting, Photographing, and Retouching Faces and Bodies, and many others. The techniques by Eismann are far superior. Skin has tips and tricks which most are easily found at various websites, blogs, and forums. These techniques will satisfy 98% of the people wanting to learn retouch, and they are fine if you goal is to achieve good enough results. However, if you goal is to master retouching and are willing to spend hours on a single image to create perfection, then you need this book.
The only critique I have for this book is the layout. I hope that with CS5 coming out in a few weeks Eismann will release a new book with a better layout. If she does, I will immediately buy it. I also hope her publisher releases it on the kindle store. I have Kindle for the iPad and it is amazing. It is a godsend for reading in dimly lit rooms.

The best PS book around. Jan 05, 2010
If you have to choose one PS book about retouching, don't look further, this is the one. You can't go wrong buying it and the price is a bargain. I have been using her books for years and never being disappointed. She can explain the steps in plain words and illustrate with examples so close to real working needs that it's a matter of following her directions. After using it for while I simply flip over the book until I find an example that is similar to the problem I'm facing and follow the instructions. I advise not to skip the readings, because not like some PS books, this book has juice.

Saved by a book Dec 21, 2009
I run a computer group and was doing some stuff on restoring old photos. The challenge was for the members to bring me their photos and I'd see how good I could get them.
I didn't claim to be an expert, but I knew a few photoshop tricks. Well One photo I could not get right (the 70s orange baby syndrome). I ordered this book and had it fixed within minutes of receiving it. I also found several other tricks for mending that I didn't know that improved what I had done. I can't wait to actually sit down and work my way through from the beginning instead of jumping in half way.
Clear instructions that tell you what needs to be done and why (not just set it to xxx, but that it should look like 'this' so adjust xxx until it does). Sample photos are available too to replicate the tutorials. Well worth a lot more than the RRP!

Best Book Out There On Retouching Jul 18, 2009
If you don't like Scott Kelby's Court Jester writing style, get this book. It's written professionally in easy to read phrases. I own both Kelby's and Eastman's book on this topic, and both cover similar things, but sometimes Kelby's results are more to my liking and sometimes Eastman's are. They cover different things too. Excellent book.
