Product Description

This update is so important, because if there was ever a version of Photoshop that was aimed at digital photographers, Photoshop CS is it, and "The Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby (Editor of Photoshop User magazine) once again breaks new ground by doing something for digital photographers that's never been done beforeit 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, it shows you 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 done -- it tells you, flat-out, which settings to use, when to use them, and why.

If you're looking for one of those "tell-me-everything-about-the-Unsharp-Mask-filter" books, this isn't it. You can grab any other Photoshop book on the shelf, because they all do that. Instead, this book gives you the inside tips and tricks of the trade that today's leading pros use to correct, edit, sharpen, retouch, and present their photos to some of the most demanding clients on the planet. Youll be absolutely amazed at how easy and effective they areonce you know the secrets.

LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT Each year Scott trains thousands of professional photographers how to use Photoshop, and almost without exception they have the same questions and the same problems -- that's exactly what Scott covers in this book. You'll learn:

  • The secrets of how the pros retouch portraits
  • How to color correct any photo without breaking a sweat (youll be amazed at how they do it!)
  • How to unlock the power of Photoshop CS' new features for digital photo pros
  • Amazing digital body-sculpting techniques
  • How the pros use CS' File Browser (it's much more powerful than you think)
  • Tricks that can send your productivity through the roof
  • The sharpening techniques the pros really use (there's an entire chapter just on this!)
  • How to deal with common digital camera image problems
  • Removing noise, avoiding halos, and protecting your images
  • How to use Match Color, The Color Replacement Tool, and other amazing CS tools.

5 out of 5 stars Great tips & tricks for the personal photographer   October 30, 2008
If you love photography and love to present a flattering or stunning photo to your friends and family, this is the book for you. I love working in Adobe CS and I have worked in it for a few years. Still, this book brought out a lot of quick, easy and perfectly workable tips for perfecting your digital photographs.

I actually had checked it out from the library and determined I had to buy a copy.

Teaches you how to properly set your colors for photo print or publication depending on the paper you will use. Shows you how to gently remove wrinkles, blemishes, love handles and correct smiles.

It also shows you how to add artistic flare to your photos.

Very easy to follow. Quick and to the point.




5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT   February 15, 2008
I have this book on my desk at all times. Step by step applications that make learning photoshop CS a breeze! I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn how to enhance their pictures!


3 out of 5 stars Same book, different cover.   December 19, 2007
This book, like many photoshop books, is just the same thing over and over. How to retouch photos, how to use layers to change the intensity of an image. It's a good book if it is your first photoshop book and you're looking to learn the basics, but it is nothing beyond basic.
