Skin by Lee Varis
August 26, 2008 | J Scott | Comments 0
This book is on my purchase list. I’ve looked it over at the book store and I’ve also watched some videos that Lee Varis put together. Although the book focuses on retouching for portraiture and people photos, the techniques cross over into many other areas of photography. Using luminosity blending to bring the tonal values into an image are invaluable. Didn’t get the Depth-of-Field you wanted? Varis shows you how to create a realistic optical blur as opposed to a Gaussian blur that is typically used. [asa book]047004733X[/asa]

About the Author: James Scott is CBW (Chief Bottle Washer) of James Scott Photography. Involved with Digital Imaging, Photography, Video and Software Development for 30 years I've learned 14 things. As soon as I remember what they are I'll pass them on, because I think they are important. But I'm not sure.
