Product Description
Are you ready for a Photoshop book that breaks all the rules? Updated for Adobe Photoshop CS5, this top-selling book breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's rareit cuts through the bull and shows readers exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge readers to come up with their own settings or figure it out on their own. Instead, it shows them, step by step, the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital photographers and retouchers, and it does something that virtually no other Photoshop book has ever doneit tells you flat-out which settings to use, when to use them, and why. Including coverage of all the newest features of CS5such as the amazing Content-Aware Fill, Puppet Warp, HDR Pro, and the completely redesigned Lens Correction filter.
The Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers is full-color, graphically rich, and contains project-based examples of every key step in the digital photography process. Integrating all the newest features of Photoshop CS5 into the book's workflow, Scott shows readers how to work with their images like a pro, from importing to organization to correction to output. In addition to fully updating the book for CS5, Scott has also added a brand new chapter, which lets readers in on his entire, personal post-processing workflow by incorporating his popular 7-Point System into this book.

Wow! Wow! Wow! September 5, 2010
Elston Hill (Port Angeles, WA)
I have been using Photoshop Elements but am totally new to CS5. I was about to buy another book when I read a review saying it was great for those with previous Photoshop experience. Then I read the reviews for this book which said it was easy to follow.
I got the book today and in just a little over an hour I have learned to do so many things with CS5. I am amazed. I am at a new level.
The only criticism of the book is that he is a little hokey in his introductions and here and there. But this is easily forgiven by the ease with which I can read the book and implement his instructions. BUY THIS BOOK. It is terrific. I am already a third of the way through the book and have learned so many fantastic things which I was never able to do in Elements.

Scott Kelby has produced his usual high standard publication, updated for CS5. Simple staightforward directions. I don't mind his jokes. Only query is whether his resolution recommendation for Epson printers is optimal.

My first book by Scott Kelby was his CS3 version of this book. I have enjoyed using it over the last two years and thought it might be worth looking at his CS5 version. It is written in the same easy to follow, no nonsense, format I enjoyed so much in the previous book. I have been using Photoshop since Photoshop 3, but it is always nice to have an easily read reference available for the things you don't do all the time. It is definitely worth a look.
 Extremely Helpful, but wish the "original" images files were available online.... August 26, 2010

I am fairly new to photography and Photoshop. I know the basics of photography, but have virtually no experience with Photoshop.
In an attempt to grasp the intricacies of Photoshop, I picked up this book and am not regretting it in the slightest! I have been diligently working my way through the book in order and am currently in Chapter 5. Luckily this not a requirement to understand the book, but I just wanted to get an overall feel of all of the tools that are now at my disposal.
Occasionally you are asked to select a tool without being told/shown how to get it (this happens rarely, but you can quickly find the tool on your own).
The ONLY reason that I give this book 3 stars is that some of the images that you download from the website so that you can work along with the book already have been processed! (so there is nothing left for the reader to do) If they remedy this terrible oversight, I will gladly revise my review to 5 stars.
