Welcome To Oz is a photo-editing book for people who are very serious about photo editing. It contains a handful of tutorials that highlight complex multi-stage Photoshop manipulations. For an artist who considers original photos raw-material-to-be-manipulated-beyond-recognition, it could be an eye-opening text.

I am more than willing to play with tonal and color balance to achieve an effect with my photos, and I'll occasionally dodge and burn, but I generally prefer to stick to non-destructive editing. I didn't take much away from this book that I will put into practice, but it was still fun to read.
