Reviews

"Addison then is the most obvious starting point for a photographer wishing to get started with Painter. The book begins with cloning before moving to brushes and brush creation. This dispatches the first 166 pages and so is very comprehensive. After a couple of chapters on montaging and the use of colour there are a number of worked examples for landscape, children and portraits, including seven pages on using Painter for wedding images - all good moneymaking advice!
