How'd they get that shot? In some cases, they didn't; the magic is in the manipulation. Nine French artists provide mini-workshops that show the steps from before to masterful in images from history, fashion, advertising, and travel. The editing techniques they demonstrate include image restoration; correction in framing and distortion; modifying contrast levels; touching up color; stitching multiple images into one; matte painting and photomontage; creating a surreal image from a real one; and simplifying an image by eliminating distractions such as typography. The nicely illustrated volume has no index.
