"The companion website is a great addition to the book, where there are further resources, including videos and all the photos used in the book for you to download and practice on. As a digital photographer myself, I found all of Philip Andrews' books extremely clear and helpful and this one is no exception. Again, he has written one of the best books on the subject, in his usual clear and engaging style. The informative step-by-step instructions, full colour screen shots and the attractive presentation throughout only serve to reinforce the reasons to buy it." - Amazon Review
