In its ads, Yves Rocher demands high-quality imagery that combines esthetics with instantly readable text. In this story, photo retoucher Cyril Bruneau describes how the photographer arranged and shot a still-life of semi-transparent and opaque containers, and how Cyril himself then retouched the image so it would meet Yves Rocher's exacting standards.

A lot of information there
It's always nice to observe another's technique. Details were pointed out that I might not have noticed myself.
Pure crap
This is the worst article I have ever reviewed. The only redeaming thing is the book is very small. The concept is good but the material is crap. I have been in photogrpahy for over 50 years and I think this is the wrorst book I have seen on the subject. This is not a book to recomend at all.
