- Excellent for digital photography too
Although this book preceded the digital photography revolution--having been published around 2000, the book will give the digital photographer lots of good ideas, and more importantly learn where the styles of various photo software evolved from. By offering a more hands-on craft oriented perspective on hand-coloring photographs, lots of people getting into photography via digital may appreciate just how tactile and visceral photography can be--you may never use the processes described here but ...

- Not Enough Details
I expected more from this book. The author doesn't give enough instruction or details on how to hand color just briefly mentions technique along with some photos. The book is nice for general introduction purposes but I had more questions than answers while I was reading.

- Too little detail and guidance.
Of the three books I have read on this subject, this one, by far, is the least useful. There is virtually NO technical guidance on how to hand color. Even the information on color selection is bland and uninformative. Rather than suggesting a couple of colors to use to give an item depth, the descriptions recommend single colors. This book treats the art of hand coloring like paint-by-numbering.

- Great for hand-tining without buying tons of supplies
This is a wonderful book for anyone wanting to hand-tint photographs without buying a bunch of expensive supplies. Most projects use easy to find and relatively inexpensive colored pencils (like Berol prisamacolor) instead of fancy photo oil and specialty markers. A special effects gallery in the back shows photo that were colored with markers, watercolors, acrylics and mixed media.

The book starts out with a brief explanation of materials, film types, print surfaces, shooting pictures and ... Read More
