 Quite simply, a MUST HAVE book for photographers of all levels!!! August 10, 2007

This is Scott Kelby's revised edition of his Photoshop for Photographers series covering CS3, but don't be fooled in thinking that it's just as the previous version with a few added extras. Not only does this book cover the new features of CS3 which are mainly relevant to photographers, it's packed with all new techniques for retouching and finally presenting your images.
Since the last edition, it's clear that Scott Kelby has been studying his craft hard. The book is full, cover to cover with beautiful photographs, taken by him, which are motivating by themselves. Amongst the many, two techniques which stand out to give superb results are what he calls the Trendy High Contrast Portrait Effect and the Hollywood Highlights technique.
The book is written in Scott's easy going humerous style, and yes there are people that don't relate to his sense of humour, but then you can't please everyone. That being said, if you don't like the humour, then do yourself a favour and look past it, cos amongst it is some of the most valuable information, we as photographers need if we want to keep 'up there'.
Covering everything from the Bridge, color correcting, enhancements, presentation and more, as I've said this book is a MUST HAVE for photographers of all levels.
Oh and incase you were wondering, 'no' I'm not on commission ... I just like to spend my money wisely!

Having bought other boooks of Scott and read online reviews I was confident that this book would be up to standard.
Before I read this book 6 weeks ago I knew next to nothing of photoshop; now I am a competent user who knows many methods and "tricks" and am able to produce quality pictures.
The book is a pleasure to read, gives one the desire and ability to develop one's skills further and I refer to the book again and again. Buy it!

I like the personal touch. I like someone who is fairly self depreciating, and can poke fun at himself and tohers, and I like the thought that someone is not teaching me, but a friend is sort of guiding me.
It is because of this that I like Scott Kelby's humour within his books. Maybe the target audiance are amateur photographers rather than the professional "this is my job so I'm being strict about everything" photographer. It really doesn't matter as this book is simply so good.
The walk-throughs and lessons are short and simple to understand, and where possible, alternative ways to achieve the same results are also discussed.
A bonus for those who buy the book is the access to a support website which contains additional chapters from earlier books which have been dropped.
Many "how-to" books can be heavy going. This one has all the content, but an easy going style. Simply excellent!
SCOTT DOES IT AGAIN! ~*~WOW~*~ January 13, 2008

I first stumbled across Scott Kelby books by chance being a complete novice with photoshop. At first and with the help of Scotts books, i was able to produce amazing photos. He has now given me so much help and confedince as well as ideas through his books to edited my website with truly stunning effects and done so quickly. I first started with his down and dirty tricks book and now have just bought this book as i have now upgraded to CS3. he makes it just so straight forward to learn new techniques quickly and easily. If you, like me are a non professional this book will help and show you all the cool tricks you need to know to impress your friend! HE GIVES YOU THE THIRST FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE WITH PHOTOSHOP!
