2 out of 5 stars Not very impressive   January 9, 2009
There were maybe two good tricks in there but I wouldn't buy this book new.

I just finished my first photo restoring project and am really impressed with the final result. I just followed the directions step by step and felt that if a klutz like me could do it, anyone should be able to.

I'm anxiously looking forward to doing some more pictures when time allows. As a matter of fact, others have asked me to do some of their personal family photos.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in photo restoring.


5 out of 5 stars Very helpful to me...   September 6, 2002
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

When I pointed to this site to recommend this book to a friend, I was stunned to see a review of 1 star. Even though I definitely consider myself a novice as well, especially in regard to digital photography, I had no problem learning from this book and following the examples.

This book was very helpful in doing what it set out to do - teach photo retouching and restoration. I was very confident in recommending it. Kudos!


1 out of 5 stars Not enough help for a novice   September 3, 2002
 4 out of 15 found this review helpful

I bought this book thinking that it would be a good guide and on first reading it it seem to be just that--however when I started to try out some of the examples on my computer, they didn't work. Steps were omitted and since I am a novice I need every step outlined which is what I expect from a "dummies" book. Very disappointing.
