I went to check on this book and that site gets a warning from my McAfee that it is not safe.

On the other hand after googling around a bit i found this

http://www.amazon.com/Sebastian-Montabone/e/B003Q4SBYE

I wonder if it is the same, if so, huge difference in price.

Hi, no I don't think so. This one is called The Holy Grail of Photography. I also have McAfee and it didn't warn me so maybe I put the wrong address in. http://trickphotographybook.com/index3.html?hop=digitalpho Check this spot out and see if you get a warning. I went into the spot that I had put in before and it didn't come up to the spot I thought, but McAfee didn't warn me. Who knows. Thanks Bee

That is not the same site.

Anyway, late last year I review a similar ebook for the author at least the first few chapters and frankly the whole method of marketing is a bit of a turn off. And the book i reviewed frankly wasn't worth the asking price which was much cheaper. The similarity was the marketing style

All these special secrets are most likely found in a wide variety of books/ on line sites and free videos.

Perhaps he has organized the book in a way that might be helpful but not for that kind of money. (at least for me)

When i tried to find out any information about his background and creditably I only found information for more ebooks etc.

I read a few of the promo for techniques, ie. hdr and he was posting correct information, but again nothing that can't be found for free.

What is it that interested about this book? Perhaps people here can guide you to other sources not so costly (and this comes from someone with an extensive library of photo books ):)

Thanks, I agree, think it is too high and probably not worth any thing. Bee

My experience tells me to stay away from any and all "deals" that charge $97. Why? Because every scam on the Internet is priced similarly. Work from home scams, e-books, etc carry a similar price tag. I would stay away.

The link you posted is actually an E-Mail address. The web site would be http ;//www. edit your digitalphotos.com {purposely distorted to prevent inadvertent linking}. I went there - they want your E-Mail address. Can't easily find any reviews of this on Google. Certainly wouldn't give them any personal identification let alone credit card info without a lot more to stand on. Most legitimate sites will offer some free demo videos. Caveat Emptor !!

I see things like this and think "WOW maybe I need to write an E book and sell it on-line"


Here are some of the things he says the book will teach you:
* Remove red eye effortlessly
* Correct underexposed photos
* Remove spots and blemishes instantly
* Make panoramic photos that bring everything to life
* Remove any unwanted “objects” from your photos
* Make yourself (or others) look 10lbs slimmer - heck you can even make someone you don't like look 10lbs fatter!
* Remove a double chin caused by a bad posture - or even a bad diet :-)
* Give yourself an instant tan
* Change hair color
* Remove wrinkles
* Smoothen skin (and give yourself the "model" look)

Poop I can teach you those things and I don't charge $97.

Thanks, I can do those things, I didn't get that far into reading all the ad, but sure wish you would take a few pounds off of me.

$97 for an e-book are you serious? After you buy that I'd like to show you some real estate. ie a bridge in brooklyn, land in florida next to a national park....ect.

Have you ever considered going into partnership? 'Cause I think your experience in real estate and mine in photography might mesh well...

Obviously there are two ways to sell e-books. Very high prices, so you make your money before people realize how bad you are, and low prices, so you make it on volume.

I'm trying for the latter: http://www.rogerandfrances.com/e-books.html

One of the books is even free, though admittedly it's not one I wrote myself (unlike the others) but a scan of an 1884 text.

Cheers,

R.

I've watched a few of his tutorials on youtube, and learned a few things. Thought about the e-book, but could not justify the price.
