I bought this book already having a little knowledge of digital image manipulation but was impressed at the subject matter and the ease in which you can follow the instructions. Unfortunately there's not a disk with the original images with the book so you'd not normally be able to recreate the exact images within but i have to add this... I was very very impressed with the customer service offered me by the publishers when i asked for any assistance in obtaining these images. A friendly email reply was received with details of a few of them and an apology for not being able to include them all. Excellent. You have to buy this book. The window cleaner on an eyeball is fantastic. I hope this review helps you. I've had great fun trying out some of these techniques and hope you do too.
