New Books by Mark Fitzgerald

Amazon.com Reviews

Awesome book on Photoshop. The title miss leads you into thinking this book is about the dedicated area of old photo restoration & retouching. This book covers all the fundamentals, into the skills need for photography enhancement and then into skills associated with old photo restoration. You might think photo restoration is of no interest but the skills presented are the very same ones used to improve a normal photography. The book is written with a clear and guiding style. There are numerous tips to get you quickly going with quality results. All the images used in the illustrations are available online. I have numerous books on Photoshop from the various masters and this book will be one I keep for a long, long time. The book is appropriate for the beginner to the advanced user of Photoshop. This book is money well spent.
