Synopsis

Photo Retouching Secrets is not another color correction book, or scanning manual. It covers only one topic: retouching images to make them look better. What type of retouching are we talking about? Thing like:

• tricks for removing red eye and then recoloring the eye to its natural color
• tricks for removing the signs of aging
• how to fix underexposed or overexposed images
• how to remove spots, rips, and tears

In Photo Retouching Secrets you will also learn:

• how to seamlessly splice images together
• repair damaged body parts
• remove unslightly shadows
• fix some of the other problems that digital cameras can often introduce to photos

Photo Retouching Secrets shows you feathering tricks, cropping and straightening tricks to save you time and frustration. If you want nothing but the tips, the tricks, and the secret inside shortcuts to make retouching images easy and fun, this book is the right one.
