Skin: The Complete Guide to Digitally Lighting, Photographing, and Retouching Faces and Bodies
Is this the complete guide to perfect (studio) lighting and skin (colour correction) retouching in Photoshop as the sub-title says? No it is not. Is this a book which gives you helpful tips with good examples for both lighting and correction and retouching on a medium Photoshop level, yes it is.
As many Photoshop book authors Lee Varis does not make clear for whom he wrote this book. It's not for the Photoshop newbie with a digital SLR who likes to get quick 'correct' skin colour with post processing (read Scott Kelby) It's not for the professional Photoshop user which aim is to get a complete picture of (digital) lighting setups in relation to post processing; the first chapter, digital imaging basics, is already a proof of that.
The book however starts very promising, with a foreword by the Queen of retouching herself, Katrinn Eismann (I would strongly advice anyone to read her book about restoration and retouching if you do not know it yet.)
Than Lee Varis makes a big mistake by starting about "digital imaging basics" in the first chapter, followed by the second mistake, chapter 2: "colour management workflow and calibation."
99% of people who do care about getting professional looking results with retoucning and lighting setups related to skin colour finished that "Scott Kelby level" knowledge years ago. Read More ...
