"Mastering Beauty Retouching" shows professionals and students how to use Adobe Photoshop CS5's extensive set of tools to execute a variety of realistic photo retouching techniques. Concentrating on facial retouching, each chapter presents a series of different techniques applied to the same set of images with before-and-after shots so readers can see side-by-side comparisons of each. Each retouching style is talked through step-by-step to help readers understand which to use and how different characteristics such as age and ethnicity factor into the decision of which technique to apply. Photo retouching is a quickly growing field, and there is no other book like this available.
