This big glossy, expensive book on matte painting using Photoshop is high on fancy images but low on instructions and details. I'm not surprised.....given that these guys are not going to give up their trade secrets to just anyone. Don't expect any detailed instructions on how they achieved those gorgeous special effects. All you get are high level comments from each artist on how these panoramas were created in Photoshop. Basic techniques and how to achieve the final details are literaly glossed over. Something as basic and essential as the cloning tool was not even mentioned. No mention of filters or custom Photoshop brushes used, nor Plug-Ins. Great coffee table picture book but a waste of money for me....
