Award winning photographer, Christopher Grey, has developed techniques to enhance portrait photography, using the creative applications available in Photoshop.
This 200 page book contains detailed explanations of how to replicate many layer-based darkroom techniques with Photoshop (Dodging, Burning, Vignettes, etc.) as well as camera and earlier technology techniques (Short Focus, High Speed Film Grain, Hand Coloring, etc.).
Grey has also developed almost two dozen ways to replicate traditional painterly and illustrative techniques such as Rough Charcoal Sketch, Wet Watercolour, Silkscreen, and Oil Chalk. Each effect is covered in a 2-4 page full colour spread for easy comprehension and step-by-step directions designed to give you the tips to take the effect to the next level.
