The  PHOP Restoration and Retouching  For Digital Photographers Only is  a full-color comprehensive reference to retouching and restoring photographs using Adobe PHOP.  Written by an Adobe Certified Expert and Adobe Certified Instructor in PHOP, Mark Fitzgerald, the PHOP Restoration and Retouching For Digital Photographers Only  provides training, tips, and techniques for amateur to professional photographers who want to complete expert quality photo restorations and retouchings.  The book begins by reviewing the fundamentals of working with digital images - covering adjusting image brightness and contrast, working with color, understanding RAW and high-bit files, working with layers, and getting organized.  Fitzgerald guides readers through all of the relevant PHOP tools and techniques including a full chapter on creating flexibility with layer masks.  A robust four chapter section on rescuing damaged photos enables readers to bring their damaged images back to life.  The final section of the book focuses on adding the final touches to images - retouching, with hands-on examples of retouching portraits and architectural projects.  The book's accompanying web site will include the book's tutorials with JPEGs and PSD's of images from the book.
