Each year, Scott Kelby, Editor-in-Chief of Photoshop User magazine and the #1 best-selling Photoshop author, trains literally thousands of photographers on how to retouch portraits using Photoshop through his live seminars, online classes, DVDs, and standing-room only workshops at the Photoshop World Conference & Expo. Now you can learn the same techniques he uses in his own retouching workflow, in the only book of its kind-one written expressly for photographers who do their own retouching.

As a pro photographer himself, Scott understands that photographers make their living shooting, not retouching. But, delivering fully retouched images is now expected by clients. That's why Scott put together this amazing resource for teaching photographers the quickest, easiest, and most effective ways to create professional-looking, retouched final images without spending hours grinding away at painstaking, detailed techniques.

How to soften skin and still retain detail and texture
The best tricks for beautifully enhancing eyes, eyebrows, and eyelashes
How to selectively sharpen portraits without complicated masking
How to create gorgeous-looking lips
How to remove blemishes fast and keep the most detail
The pros' tricks for body sculpting

I love the book, I hate the book. The book is just so good. I'm only half way through it but all the techniques covered in the book are just amazing. Scott has shown some of these techniques in his online training courses but there are other higher end ones which are just crazy. Furthermore he has gone out of his way to get contributions from others, for them to add techniques, really deserving of the name Retouching Bible. I also hate the book because I can't look at someone without thinking how I would retouch their face.
