I think we need to see the book before we can answer the question, right?

Hopefully B&N will have it in stock.  ;-)

Ugh, went to two B&N (Daytona and St Augustine)...neither had it in stock.

Had to order it on Amazon.

The book is out it is on shelves at Barns & Nobel and Borders books as well as for sale on Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159863 … oding=UTF8

I actually held it in my hands today and skimmed through it.

How do I choose what pages to use as tears???? I’m all through out the book I have probably 100 or so images of me in this sucker. I do have a whole two page spread with no words, and a small image in the intro section with my name and my image, or do I just pick a few random pages that have the most images of me?

Duh it has a title too!!

Digital Boudoir Photography: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Fabulous Images of Any Woman (Paperback)

Pick around 2-3 no more than 5 tops. Considering that they are from a single photographer it's nice to have a balanced book. Look for the ones that you keep going back to after a few days. If you have more you can swap them out later.

Scanning print - look for the black and white points just like in the camera. You're going to need de-screening and if you don't have that as a tool, use blur to get rid of the half-tone pattern. Generally the printer uses a 150-300 line screen, so try different resolutions to minimize the pattern. If you get stuck call me.

Holy mackerel she's got a job and tearsheets at the same time!
