This review is from: The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital
Photographers (Voices That Matter) (Paperback)
I'm not new to photography, but I'm fairly new to Photoshop...CS5 in
particular. In the interest of quickly getting up-to-speed, I signed
up a few weeks ago with an Adobe Certified Instructor to provide
personal Photoshop mentoring to me on a once-a-week basis. To
supplement these sessions, I also joined NAPP and have watched dozens
of their video tutorials; Adobe TV, etc. At the same time, I also
picked up another highly respected author's book on CS5 (lets call it
the "me" book) to try and put things together. The videos have helped,
but I must candidly say that I quickly got lost in complexities of the
writing in the "me" book and found it quite frustrating to say the
least! Thats not to say that the "me" book isn't well done, but it is
clearly written for someone that has had a fair amount of Photoshop
experience in the past. IMHO, it's just way too detailed for the
neophite user.
Then WOW...fast forward to Scott's new book which arrived at my home
earlier this week. What an amazing book this is indeed. BANG...just
open up to any Chapter and there you have a very straightforward,
concise, step-by-step tutorial to guide and fast-track even the most
inexperienced user through the process of getting the very best
results out of his or her images. Photoshop frustration has been
replaced with Photoshop fun. Trust me, using this book is like having
Scott looking over you shoulder as you go through his easy-to-follow
methodology. Even the complete novice can process some amazing images
the very first time through.
Without reservation, I highly recommend you BUY THIS BOOK!!! Thanks,
Scott, I'm having an absolute blast.

Are you ready for an amazing new version of The Photoshop Book that
breaks all the rules? Scott Kelby, Editor and Publisher of Photoshop
User magazine—and the best-selling Photoshop author in the world today—
once again takes this book to a whole new level as he uncovers more of
the latest, most important, and most useful new Adobe Photoshop CS5
techniques for digital photographers.
This major update to his award-winning, record-breaking book does
something for digital photographers that’s never been done before—it
cuts through the bull and shows you exactly “how to do it.” It’s not a
bunch of theory; it doesn’t challenge you to come up with your own
settings or figure it out on your own. Instead, Scott shows you step
by step the exact techniques used by today’s cutting-edge digital
photographers, and best of all, he shows you flat-out exactly which
settings to use, when to use them, and why. That’s why the previous
editions of this book are widely used as the official study guide in
photography courses at colleges and universities around the world.
Each year, Scott trains thousands of professional photographers how to
use Photoshop, and almost without exception they have the same
questions, the same problems, and the same challenges—and that’s
exactly what he covers in this book. You’ll learn:
The sharpening techniques the pros really use.
The pros’ tricks for fixing the most common digital photo problems
fast!
The step-by-step setup for getting what comes out of your printer to
match exactly what you see onscreen.
A whole chapter on how to process HDR (High Dynamic Range) images
using CS5’s new Merge to HDR Pro.
How to master CS5’s new Content-Aware Fill.
How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat.
How to process RAW images like a pro (plus how to take advantage of
all the new Camera Raw features in CS5!).
How to use the included gray card to make color correction just a
matter of three clicks.
How to show your work like a pro!
A host of shortcuts, workarounds, and slick “insider” tricks to send
your productivity through the roof!
Plus, Scott includes a special bonus chapter with his own CS5
workflow, from start to finish, and each chapter ends with a Photoshop
Killer Tips section, packed with time-saving, job-saving tips that
make all the difference. If you’re a digital photographer, and if
you’re ready to learn all the “tricks of the trade”—the same ones that
today’s leading pros use to correct, edit, sharpen, retouch, and
present their work—then you’re holding the book that will do just
that.
