Any book suggestions?
Hello to you all I love playing around with photoshop and someone told me that my retouching skills need improvement, so here I am asking for any book suggestions. I have CS3 and I would like a book for skin, hair retouch. Not a book to learn CS3. Just retouching. Is there anything out there for me? Thanks a lot Maria Oct 19 09 04:25 am Link Don't know any good books, but here's some youtube tutorials: Hair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANFwEjEPAJU Skin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xrIXBE26Mg Oct 19 09 07:52 am Link My list of recommended Photoshop books for photographers is here. It's very different than the ones I'd recommend to a graphic artist, but make a much better foundation for photo-imaging than most general photoshop books. The linked page has reviews. Here are just the titles and authors for the retouching ones. Retouching Photoshop Restoration and Retouching by Katrin Eismann & Wayne Palmer Glitterguru on Photoshop: From Concept to Cool by Suzette Troche-Stapp Commercial Photoshop Retouching: In the Studio by Glenn Honiball Digital Retouching for Fashion, Beauty, and Portrait Photography in Photoshop CS3 by Gry Garness Gry Garness' might be the best for you, based on your stated experience. But see the comments on the linked page as well. Also... From the Photography Forum FAQ How do I get great-looking skin on a model? Start with a model with great skin, use a great makeup artist, and youâll cut down your retouching tremendously while getting better results.
