| OverviewThis 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 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, 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. You'll be absolutely
amazed at how easy and effective they are--once 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 (you'll
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. Masking techniques for photographers The most-requested photographic special effects and much more!
Photoshop CS is THE tool for digital photographers, and this
book show you exactly how to put it's power to work for you
today.

Essential reading, 2009-02-21 Reviewer rating: This book will save you countless hours of fruitless experimentation in Photoshop. I use Scott's shortcuts and techniques EVERY day. | Great tips & tricks for the personal photographer, 2008-10-30 Reviewer rating: 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.
| EXCELLENT, 2008-02-15 Reviewer rating: 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! | Same book, different cover., 2007-12-19 Reviewer rating: 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. | Great book, 2007-08-31 Reviewer rating: These book have helped me to do things I could have never done without reading. Love these Photoshop books. |
