I want to keep this as hush as possible, so don't go announcing it. I've got a book in the works at the moment. I'm still in the research phase, and I could use your help. Of course, if I get some good leads from you, I'll thank you in the book :)

I'm looking for big photo manip resources, as this is the main topic I'll be covering in the book. I've already combined a large list of online resources and tutorials to use as reference, but more cannot hurt.

You might be thinking, if I am writing the book, why am I looking for tutorials to use in it? Well, I've been told by other authors that it helps to look around and see how others do the things you want to teach in your book as to get a better understanding of your options and the best and most efficient techniques to use. If I do end up using someone else's or part of someone else's technique(s), I would of course ask for permission and then credit them accordingly.

They'll be the future authors you see, it's a big circle. This happened to me a while back. Katrin Eismann contacted me asking if she could use my technique for Removing Blemishes in her book Photoshop Restoration & Retouching, I agreed, and she credited me and sent me a free copy. Now I'll probably do the same thing she did, though I doubt I can sell as many copies of my book as she did hers ;P

Anyways, any help would be appreciated, a list of any forum threads, articles, tutorials, pdfs, etc would help me out so much. I don't want you to search, just anything you know of already. Thanks for your time.

Now that I think of it, I've been shopping for some stock photo cds to use for the book. Would you mind if I use some of your images. I haven't checked out your stuff, but I'm downloading so if I find something I like, do you mind?
