Essential for all photographers November 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is simply amazing!! I hate reading "how to" books, especially about Photoshop because a) I don't have the patience to read all the verbose technical stuff, and b) find that many other "hone your skills with these helpful tips" publications are too patronizing to any photographer - but this book is concise, clear and actually interesting while being entertaining to read! This book will sure be one of those dog eared/can't live without it books on my shelf!
 Good Techniques for Intermediate PS Users October 6, 2007
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
When I picked up "Skin", I was looking for a more advanced beauty retouching manual. Unfortunately, it wasn't as extensive as I had hoped.
This book is great for intermediate Photoshop users who need to hone their skills in the area of beauty retouching. Advanced users who want an in depth look at all aspects of beauty retouching should keep their eyes out for something else. I still haven't found it.

I agree with the other 5 star reviews. The only thing I'd like to add is part of the foreword by Gerald Bybee:
"If you're looking for pointers on shooting nudes or tutorials on photographing sexy models in the desert, this book is not for you. There is already a plethora of those pseudo-technical books explointing the throngs of photo voyeurs. Lee isn't about exploitation of our society's fascination with naked skin. Lee's fascination is simply with digital imaging technique focused on the practical application of photographing people, who coincidentally are primarily dermal by nature."
If you are like me and don't want a book full of nude models sitting around the house, then don't let this book's title keep you from buying it. There is a thumbnail of the most nude picture in the book on the cover (3rd down on the left side) and is the image of a woman's back. Lee Varis does a good job of talking about and showing examples of skin without including pictures you may not want your children seeing.
