Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
For graphics professionals worldwide, one book has become the standard for expert photo restoration and retouching techniques: Katrin Eismann’s Photoshop Restoration & Retouching. They’ll find the new Second Edition even more useful.

It’s been thoroughly updated for Photoshop 7; virtually every exercise has been reworked or replaced. It’s 90 pages longer, and packed with techniques Eismann’s learned since the first edition was released.

She’s had plenty of opportunities to learn new stuff. Last year alone, she taught digital photo restoration and retouching from Finland to Peru -- and when not traveling, at New York’s respected School for Visual Arts. Few people know more about what graphics professionals need from Photoshop’s image editing tools.

Eismann starts with a chapter on moving more quickly through Photoshop -- an essential up-front skill for becoming a more effective Photoshop retoucher. “To power users, Photoshop is transparent—the interface practically disappears as they work… [they] can concentrate on the image and not the software.”

To that end, she shows how to work more efficiently with keyboard shortcuts (Photoshop’s really designed to be used with one hand on the keyboard, one on the mouse.) After you learn the best ways to organize your files and workflow, Eismann turns to layers.

You know layers are critical to retouching; you may not realize how critical. Eismann reviews eight different kinds of Photoshop layers, from Adjustment Layers for tonal, exposure, and color corrections, to Neutral Layers for applying tonal improvements, both subtle and dramatic.

Photoshop 7 lets you incorporate up to 8,000 layers and layer effects in a single image. Fortunately, it also lets you organize your layers into Layer Sets: Eismann shows how to make the most of this feature, too.

Next, she turns to adjusting tone and contrast with Levels and Curves -- often, the first step in bringing an image back to life. Working with grayscale images, you’ll learn to evaluate image tonality; improve highlights and shadows; adjust contrast; save time with blending modes and shared Adjustment Layers; and selectively adjust tone in portions of your image.

There’s a full chapter on correcting exposures (including solutions for both under- and overexposure). Eismann then covers color in detail, from identifying color casts to fixing color temperature problems, as well as selective and interchannel color correction.

Next, she turns to photo restoration, repair, and reconstruction. You’ll learn how to remove dust, mold, and unwanted textures; repair scratches, tears, cracks, and other damage; and recreate portraits, backgrounds and all. Once you’ve gotten this far, Eismann shows how to refine and polish your image -- possibly by converting to B&W, or with soft focus or vignette edges.

Finally, Eismann turns to touching up people, in both portrait and “glamour” photography. Hey, nobody has 100 percent blemish-free skin, sparkling eyes, a perfectly balanced face, and cellulite-free thighs in the same body. Fix a portrait with sensitivity and care, and you’ve got a friend (or client) for life. Bill Camarda

    Great Resource for Web Developers

    Sooner or later most web developers will be approached by family members with the idea of setting up a web site to share all those old family photos. You may have even volunteered to do this. After all, it sounds like fun, until you are faced with hundreds of photos that have lain in attics, garages, basements and barns for the last 50 years. Getting these photos into some sort of presentable condition is not just a matter of scanning and sizing. This kind of work calls for an expert, and in this book Katrin Eismann does her best to make you one. Eismann¿s book is not for Photoshop novices: you will need to know how to use the tools and work with layers. But everything else you need to restore photographs, even torn, stained, faded and moldy ones, is presented clearly and in great detail here. You will get the most out of it if you take the time to download the practice images from her web site and go through the step by step instructions. Even if you have considerable experience with Photoshop you will find new tools and techniques. The retouching sections are very interesting to just about anyone who works with photos. Here you will learn how to remove blemishes, wrinkles and unwanted pounds as well as any plastic surgeon. Photoshop Restoration & Retouching, 2nd Edition is not just a ¿how to¿ book, but a ¿why¿ book, and a terrific way to learn how to work with photographic images of all kinds.

    Fantastic Photoshop Book

    I do not have enough superlative words to describe this book. I thought the first edition was great, but this second edition is even better. If you are interested in restoration, and also want a better understanding of the various techniques explained in a straight-forward manner, this is the book for you.

    If you own a camera, buy this book.

    This book is fantastic! If you have a camera, and you've taken a lousy picture (who hasn't) and you wish you could fix the mistake.... this is your book! This book is gorgeous full color, detailed, and very easy to understand. Katrin Eismann has a wonderful writing style. She will show you step by step how to fix anything from removing a pimple, a scalping, lousy lighting to restoring an old torn picture of granny.
