We use this book as a daily textbook and reference for our lighters, compositors and anyone working with digital imagery. It is wonderful to see a new edition being released and it will certainly be required reading for all our digital artists here at Imageworks." -- Sande Scoredos, Executive Director of Training & Artist Development, Sony Pictures Imageworks The Art and Science of Digital Compositing is the only complete overview of the technical and artistic nature of digital compositing.

Seller did everything correct. Description was accurate. packaging was good. Thanks for that! The only issue has been the shipping carriers used by eBay for international shipping. For example it took from Jan 10 to Jan 22 for processing and to go from Glenview, IL (item was in Glenview on the 10th according to tracking) to Chicago, IL (item was in Chicago on the 22nd according to tracking) which according to google maps is a distance of 21 miles (34 km).
