Never trust a photograph again!
This is an excellent hands-on tutorial in getting the most out of Photoshop CS2, Ostensibly about creating realistic-looking photomontages (though most of the examples wouldn't fool someone who's paying attention), this book is actually for anyone who has struggled to learn about layers and masks and levels. It's accessible and fun.

Monte Carlo Methods in Global Illumination - Photo-realistic Rendering with Randomization
László Szirmay-Kalos

VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller e.K., 2008

This book discusses Monte Carlo algorithms and their application to solve the global illumination rendering problem of computer graphics. Mathematically, photo-realistic rendering is equivalent to the solution of an integral equation that can be successfully attacked by Monte Carlo integration techniques. The book first discusses the theory of light-surface interaction and the equations that describe materials and the transfer of the ...

Photoshop Studio with Bert Monroy is latest edition of this
This is a truly great book but Monroy has made a new book called "Photoshop Studio with Bert Monroy" which is essentially an updated version of this book. I bet it would be a better buy.

Morgan Kaufmann, 2002

Excellent book
I read this book when it came out and was quite happy with it. It's a very good review of the NPR field, that will allow a professional developer to implement most of the algorithms readily... otherwise all of the important academic papers are also well referenced. Well-written and accessible. A good addition to your library if you want to go farther than photorealism.

Shamms Mortier

Charles River Media, 2001

I'm glad that I bought this book.
After reading the negative reviews of Mr. Mortier's books, I hesitated to buy any of them but am glad that I went ahead and did so. I now own all of his Bryce books, as well as Real World Bryce 4, by Susan Kitchens. Mr. Mortier's artistic style is very different from mine, but his books have provided a springboard for some of my own creative ideas ...They have also shown me some techniques that I ...

Photorealistic Rendering in Computer Science (Focus on Computer Graphics)
P. Brunet

Springer, 1994

Photorealistic rendering strives to generate images from computer modeled scenes with an image quality as close to real life as possible. A major issue in rendering is simulation of local and global light reflection in a scene. Both ray tracing and radiosity algorithms capture only some of the possible light reflection phenomena. Recently developed two-pass algorithms combine the ray tracing and radiosity approaches and are able to capture the ...
