Dissapointing ... I bought this book and find how far is the content compared with the title. It should have been "A Brief Introduction to Adobe Photoshop from A Wedding Photographer". The book is just too basic.

This book should be entitled: "Basic Photoshop for wedding photographers". A complete waste of money with simple and cheesy effects. I am very disappointed as the methods in this book will not suit todays high expectations in the wedding market. The book looks like it would apply to the mid 1980's. Very simple and basic instruction methods, taught me absoulutely nothing that I don't already know!

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.
