If you are relatively new to PhotoShop and are looking for a quick, relatively easy intro to B&W photo restoration, this isn't a bad little book. I wanted to love it, but I can't.Pros: Deals with the basic tools and walks you through the process of using them to fix some problems. Easy to refer to the examples and apply to your scans. Short and easy to use. Inexpensive.Cons: The printing is on uncoated paper so the example photos aren't always clear. The writing is sub par. No editing was done. The instructions were a little muddled in a couple of the examples. Doesn't address facial restoration if there is a lot of damage. One of his examples shows a family photo, with a big area of damage and he completely ignores how to repair that. Instead he focuses on blurring the background. It cries for information about how he repaired the faces and clothing of the damaged people, but he says not a word except that it will require a lot of work. (See photo of page from book.)As a quick intro to see if you want to take on the task of repairing family heirlooms, this is a decent place to start. You won't be overwhelmed by all of the tools and choices PhotoShop provides. It's a painless beginning.I recommend: Photo Restoration—From Snapshots to Great Shots by Robert Correll as the next step to increasing your skills.Well written (even funny in places), easy to follow, addresses color as well as B&W. Yet not intimidating or overwhelming if you follow along the steps and examples of what he did to repair & improve the photos.The Bible of photo restoration is: CTEIN's Digital Restoration From Start to Finish. Though it's getting a bit dated. It's an excellent advanced book.
