An interesting approach to digital photography. Versace has a somewhat tedious methodology to taking a still photograph, and transforming it to a different level of art in Photoshop. Nice concepts, but very work intensive.

The section on removing sensor color cast alone, makes this book worth reading. Vincent has a lot to tach about how the eye moves through a photo, and how you can use this in your image creation. If you are looking for a great approach to creating fine art photography, look no further.

Good concepts, so-so technical methods, great results

May want to revisit if I ever want to try "image harvesting" - combining the best parts of many captures to create a final image.

Too much Photoshop for my taste.
