This is fun stuff, and for those who haven’t seen these techniques before you’ll be shouting “oh wow” as you follow along and see what you can do. He also shows the lesser known trick (to those who don’t come from the film days) of dodging and burning to make a great face look like pure perfection. Chapter 3 – Face to Face – Here’s where Scott goes wild showing the cool things you can do with the liquify tool.Where these techniques will come in most handy are photos of family members and ordinary people who you want to make them look their best without making them look unreal. What I really like about this chapter is that Scott teaches some great techniques that don’t require you to purchase any third party products and he shows how to apply his recommendations in a subtle way (especially for men) that keeps your subjects from looking like plastic corpses. Chapter 2 – Under My Skin – After you have your subjects eyes looking glamorous, the next step to portrait perfection is to retouch the skin. Some important and fresh concepts covered in this chapter include reducing dark circles, enhancing eyelashes (very cool), creating amazing eyebrows, and adding a little sparkle to the eyes. In this chapter, Scott gives you a ton of fantastic techniques to make the eyes look their best so that your photos will have that top notch pro photographer look. If you only did the techniques described in this chapter and used the healing brush on obvious skin flaws (i.e., acne) you’d probably have a great photo by most people’s standards. A shot with great eyes is mesmerizing but one with poorly lit and dull eyes is easily ignored.
