A free CD-ROM accompanies the book and contains sample image files to use while following the tutorials, plus equipment recommendations and technical reference materials that enhance and reinforce the instruction.

 Not as described November 11, 2008

The book I ordered was listed as "new" on amazon.com, but when it arrived it had a crease on the front cover, similare to if the cover had been dog-eared. I kept the book because, after a string of bad experiences just like this one, I was sick of mailing things back, not being refunded the shipping cost, and essentially wasting money. Their shipping time was very quick, so that is a plus, but ultimatley, the book was not in the condition it was described as.

Skin, The Final Frontier. Skin is neither white nor black nor neutral grey. Lee Varis explain how to color correct skin. The one chapter on lighting is good enough IMHO to be the basis for another book. This book is fairly unique in its main subject and reason enough to buy it in addition to a general PhotoShop book. Fairly quick reading and well illustrated.
 Almost complete October 15, 2008

It's a very very good book for skin treatment, but it's not so complete... could be a little better !
