In Photo Retouching Secrets you will also learn:
how to seamlessly splice images together
repair damaged body parts
remove unslightly shadows
fix some of the other problems that digital cameras can often introduce to photos
Photo Retouching Secrets shows you feathering tricks, cropping and straightening tricks to save you time and frustration. If you want nothing but the tips, the tricks, and the secret inside shortcuts to make retouching images easy and fun, this book is the right one.
